1. Redundancy. Primary dies or is isolated - falls over.
2. Sites with a LOT of POPs or with POPs widely distributed may run
muiltiple RADIUS servers to distribute the load. Say instead of one
huge server a server farm of lower powered servers. And they can be
backups for each other.
>IMHO that's not necessary
We feel that it is necessary as we have clients where this is important.
Using a real database backend allows synchronization. I think IEA's
RADIUS NT may be able to do this much.
