Huh! I never thought of that! It makes sense to me to have two RADIUS
servers so that your users can still be authenticated even if the primary
RADIUS server crashes.

But maybe it doesn't matter whether the primary or secondary RADIUS server
authenticates them, as long as all the accounting records go to the same
place so you can keep track of customer usage for billing purposes.
