(RADIATOR) hardware radius proxy

Hello Tariq -

Some of our customers use Alteon load balancers which seem quite clever.

There are some other hardware load balancers too (just make sure there 
is support for UDP).

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?
