Hi Jayesh,
radius versus SQL - tough question :) - each has it's advantages and disadvantages. IMHO, SQL might be faster - RADIUS actually is more like a transport layer, hiding behind a storage engine (which may be a SQL). On the other hand, RADIUS is more flexible - more info may be packed in the radius replies (for example in an auth. reply).
about the second issue - set caching mode for DB (see http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/0.9.x/permissions.html#AEN170) and use the "trusted_reload" fifo command to reload from DB without restarting.
regards, bogdan

Hi Bogdan, Thanx for the information about using allow_trusted. It works fine. I just wanted to clarify one thing, is using SQL more efficient or Radius is better. I wanted to know performance wise. What would be the overhead in both cases.
one more thing, whenever we add a new IP address to the trusted table openser needs to be restarted. Is there any alternative to this. Which type of calls would be affected when we restart openser.
please let me know some information about this. Thanx a lot. Jayesh
