Abstract: A network access server (NAS) device is described that is configured to load balance authentication requests to network access control (NAC) systems based on a type of the authentication request. The NAS device may probe or ping one or more geographically distributed NAC systems to determine response latency and to receive load and status indications from the NAC systems. In response to receipt of an authentication request from a client device, the NAS device may select one NAC system from among the one or more NAC systems based on the load and status indications of the NAC systems and the type of authentication request received.
