 Not really. But you can try another RADIUS server.  See proxy.conf
for details.
 


I think this is the right way.
But if I want to have a round robin by default and the alternate 
configuration as fallback strategy I will have to forward once again?


RADIUS 1: forward to RADIUS 2 (default)
RADIUS 1: forward to RADIUS 3 (fallback)

RADIUS 2: forward to RADIUS 4 and RADIUS 5 (round robin default)

Or is there a way to combine round robin and fallback like the 
Preference Attribute used in RFC 2868 (RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel 
Protocol Support).



Thanks.

Fallback Auth if forwarding fails

[Freeradius Users Mailing List]

Hi,

first of all: thanks for this great software!

I would like to mainly do a radius forwarding through Proxy-To-Realm 
functionality.

This works well.
But for a short period of time I need to have a fallback strategy if 
forwarding fails (remote RADIUS server is dead).
Is there a way to match on a different entry i.e. in the users file 
after recognizing that the remote RADIUS server is dead?



Thanks a lot for help :-)
