Since RadiusNT is designed around client-server technology, it
can support multiple authentication servers with ease. We are
one of the only servers that can do concurrency control and
not require all RADIUS requests go to a single RADIUS server.

We are working on a new background daemon that will poll the
RADIUS clients (via SNMP) to keep the tables clean. This should
effectively solve most of the problems inherent to a RADIUS
based solution.

We currently have PM2s, PM3s, and Max 4000s spread across many cities.
We run RadiusNT on three different machines, and have a fully replicated
database for backup authentication if the primary goes down. We have
implemented this for some very large customers (10,000+ users) and its
a very scaleable and manageable solution.
