We specified a secondary radius server on the NAS that point's (the radius
secondary) to another database - this works pretty good if the first crashes.
But we want to point it to the same database as the first radius server and
only when the SQL Server is down it should automaticly change to the second
database which was replicated from the SQL server. I hope it is clear what
I wanted to say
because I am german and not sure if I translated it well.
