(RADIATOR) proxy requests to a new server

[Martin Wallner]

Urban,

I'm currently doing quite the same here, only that I have to merge
together 6 Servers on to 2 new ones, just do it sequentially via the NAS
setups... it's too confusing and you are falling in the same holes and
bad habits in the new config by just proxying the requests to the new
servers. In my opinion it's better to just move it handler/realm by
handler/realm from old servers to new servers.

Besides, if you screw up on the new setup for a handler/realm, you don't
have to fumble around in the old radius'es setup to remove the proxy and
put active the old things, you just change one line in the radius group
of your NAS and voila, you have the old setup runnung... On an
additional thought, I don't know if you need accounting, normally
keeping the accounting from new and old version apart is another nest of
problems...

Regards,
Martin
