(RADIATOR) Failover

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Andrew -

If the AuthBy FILE returns Reject, then you will go on to proxy via  
the AuthBy RADIUS.

If the AuthBy RADIUS does not get a reply, then there will be no  
reply sent to the NAS.

This will cause the NAS to fail over to its secondary radius target.

hope that helps

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?
