Background:

With our current RADIUS configuration (which includes some custom hooks
with database calls) it seems that even on a 16-core box we start to have
RADIUS timeout issues when we push above 100 total requests per second
when running a single instance of RADIATOR.

Our current solution has been to add additional boxes, but we are almost
at the point that we have as many RADIUS boxes as we have wireless
controllers (16).

It's my theory that proxy'ing the requests to multiple RADIATOR processes
will allow us to handle more requests per second on one box, although it
does appear to increase the over all latency by quite a bit.

Thanks all! Back to the lab!
