(RADIATOR) IPs allocated forever

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jon -

The first thing to do is discover why you are getting multiple access 
requests from the NAS. The solution is usually to set the DupInterval 
in the Client clause(s) in the Radiator configuration file to 
something that makes sense in your environment. Something like this:

# define Client clauses
# set DupInterval to 5 seconds (or whatever)

<Client ....>
	Secret ....
	DupInterval 5
	....
</Client>

.....


regards

Hugh
