[RADIATOR] L5 load balancers for Radius

[Hugh Irvine]

Hi Mike -

This is quite strange - I would have expected the source IP address to be intact by default.

Otherwise you can use the value of the NAS-IP-Address attribute to rewrite the source IP address with a rule on the F5.

I did something similar a few years ago when there was a Radiator proxy interposed between the NAS equipment and the target Radiator server.

The rules were posted in an email to the list on February 13 2007.

I'll send you a copy of the mail separately.

regards

Hugh

NB: 

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets), 
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
