Hi,

a customer wants to serve more than 80000 dialin customers with one
RADIUS database.

Several PM3s will be connected with 64k digital leased lines to the
central office, where the RADIUS database is located.

The question is:

- how to handle 80000 users (does .dbm and Livingston RADIUS 2.0 handle
this?)
- is it better to use RADIUS NT with ODBC and SQL-based databse?
- is it better to use a distributed RADIUS db with Merit?
- anybody out there who works with similar configurations and many users?

Thanks in advance,

Frank
