[RADIATOR] Ignoring effects of dead server monitoring

[Howard, Christopher]

Our network hardware is using radius for authentication (802.1x and management CLI). They monitor for dead radius servers by sending an authentication for a non-existent username and watching for the reject. If a reject never comes, then it assumes the server is dead and stops using it for a configured amount of time.

We use the SNMPAgent for monitoring and this is seriously skewing results. Because of this, right now 85% of all authentication is rejected, which is extremely high. Is it possible to still reject the authentication request because it is a nonexistent username, but not include these rejects in the snmp statistics? Something like: if username x; then reject, don't log, don't add to statistics.
