Hi,
Here is my setup(refer to picture for a better idea):
RB450 running rOS4.2.
Hotspot and Userman
Splitting local and international Bandwidthe over one ADSL line using 2 PPPoE accounts and static routes.
Automatic Failover on sleeping GW over wireless link (same ISP)
Main Issue:
Everything is working perfectly up until Automatic failover part. When addd an IP address to eth2(the failover port), be it static or DHCP client, the Hotspot cannot communicate with usermanager: "Radius server is not responding". When I disble the address, everything works again and the users can log in as normal.
Outputs:

Side issues:
I could not set up Hotspot and userman like the wiki says using 127.0.0.1 - By radius the address is 192.168.1.254 (eth3,4,5 in a bridge) which is my Hotspot interface. And in usermanager the router address also has to be 192.168.1.254
If either these values are changed to 127.0.0.1, I get the "Radius server is not responding" issue. and believe me I have tested it thoroughly.
Also I had to add another IP address to eth5(192.168.1.99) to be able to access the usermanager web interface. I get an "error 404: not found" which is strange. I did everything according to the wiki.
Outputs:

Sorry about the picture but I dont have visio intalled and I thought having a physical look at my setup might help the think tank. I am also planning to use netwatch to do the fail over. The RB450 has a Lv. 5 license now after 4.2 so I doubt that license would be an issue.
Let me know if there is something I forgot to print.
Thanx.
