RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michal Bruncko 2012-07-11 19:48:03 UTC
Description of problem:

In current version of freeradius there is problem when you have multihomed server with multiple IP addresses. When RADIUS request comes to secondary IP address, UDP reply from RADIUS servers comes back with different - primary - IP address instead of original IP address from requested.

Classic example: imagine using failover scenario with two/more radius boxes which are using VRRP and one virtual IP (VIP) address. When you want to use VIP as IP address of RADIUS server you have a trouble here - responses will come from different (original) IP address instead of VIP as source IP. 
My request is to appending single compilation option "--with-udpfromto" which tells freeradius to always use as source address the destination IP address of RADIUS UDP packet request. Nothing more nothing less. 

thanks

I have just compiled freeradius with this compilation switch by myself and everything is working as expected. Please consider this feature :)
