As far as I learned you should not user these Realms but two "Handlers",
one for Authentification-Request and one for Accounting-Requests.
Search the archive, there was several similar requests (one from me) in
the last days.

Sure - on your Authentication server, add something like this:



Host your.accounting.server
Secret youracctsecret


If you are currently using Realms, change them to Handlers like this:

  ->  

You will also need to be careful with ordering the Handlers so the more
specific appear in the configuration file before the more general.

Note that the Request-Type check item appeared in Radiator 2.15 (or
alternatively there is a patch for Radiator 2.14.1).

Of course, you will also need to create a Client clause on your Accounting
server to match the AuthBy RADIUS above.
