(RADIATOR) radiator handling NAS-down condition?

[Dave Kitabjian]

It's hard to tell what you're asking for... But if I can add to Hugh's
reply, Radiator can be configured to "check" the NAS equipment (using
SNMP, etc) to confirm whether sessions are really still up, and then it
will update its Session Database (to which Hugh referred) accordingly...
