It is implemented for Client side only. For example, AuthBy RADIUS clause does not contain code to send Status-Server requests to the next hop. > I know the server can send stuff back to a Client (which may use Status-Server > to detect if the RADIATOR is alive rather than just relying on a > response to a packet sent to determine if server is okay or not..) > but wondering if there are any methods/hooks for the server to throw > a status-server to the AuthBy RADIUS/RADSEC remote proxy to see if its > alive rather than rely on timers and reply timeouts for the behaviour - I am not aware of any hooks that have already been written to handle this. I think it could be possible to create a hook that does it. Maybe a pair of NoReplyHook and ReplyHook. If a request times out, the NoReplyHook could send out Status-Server and ReplyHook could then process it. I have not checked the details, but that might be one way to send a Status-Server. > we have a multi tier proxy architecture and it just takes one random > badly configured site in the scheme for all sorts of nasty things to > start occuring to a proxy in the middle of it.
