We use the NAS-IP-ADDRESS+ACCT-SESSION-ID currently and we are getting
duplicates only minutes apart so it isn't rolling over. I just recoded
our radius server to use Interbase for a DB and added NAS-Port+username to
the call_key. We only have one 'blade' in the PM-4 so it should be
duplicating session_id.
The problem is 'fixed' on my end now because of the changes I made to
RADIUS but I still thing the PM is dumping duplicate session_id's.
It also locked up 3 times last night but that is another story.
