#
#	This is a sample configuration for robust proxy accounting.
#	accounting packets are proxied, OR logged locally if all
#	home servers are down.  When the home servers come back up,
#	the accounting packets are forwarded.
#
#	This method enables the server to proxy all packets to the
#	home servers when they're up, AND to avoid writing to the
#	detail file in most situations.
#
#	In most situations, proxying of accounting messages is done
#	in a "pass-through" fashion.  If the home server does not
#	respond, then the proxy server does not respond to the NAS.
#	That means that the NAS must retransmit packets, sometimes
#	forever.  This example shows how the proxy server can still
#	respond to the NAS, even if all home servers are down.
#
#	This configuration could be done MUCH more simply if ALL
#	packets were written to the detail file.  But that would
#	involve a lot more disk writes, which may not be a good idea.
#
#	This file is NOT meant to be used as-is.  It needs to be
#	edited to match your local configuration.
#
#	Please see the sites-available/default file, in the
#	"Post-Proxy-Type Fail-Accounting" section.  That should be
#	configured to write packets to the "detail.example.com"
#	file when proxying fails.  The "listen" section below will
#	then read packets from that file, and proxy them.
#
#	See also mods-available/detail.example.com, which is the
#	module that writes the "detail.example.com" file.

		#  This will be called when the CURRENT packet failed
		#  to be proxied.  This may happen when one home server
		#  suddenly goes down, even though another home server
		#  may be alive.
		#
		#  i.e. the current request has run out of time, so it
		#  cannot fail over to another (possibly) alive server.
		#
		#  We want to respond to the NAS, so that it can stop
		#  re-sending the packet.  We write the packet to the
		#  "detail" file, where it will be read, and sent to
		#  another home server.

	#  destination host name is used as part of the directory name
	#  below.  Having two "listen" sections reading detail files
	#  from the same directory WILL cause problems.  The packets

	#  If the home servers are STILL down, then the server stops
	#  reading the detail file, and queues the packets for a later
	#  retransmission.  The Post-Proxy-Type "Fail" handler is NOT
	#  called.
	#
	#  When the home servers come back up, the packets are forwarded,
	#  and the detail file processed as normal.
