I do think there is a way around it. I once helped get Ascend's radius
to use Sybase many eons ago and we simply beefed up the machine.

Why not split the load between two machines? I've got primary and
secondary systems using a replicated mySQL db from one central server. I
simply use dns to load balance the traffic.

It is not this limit that is being hit.  If I set the SQL connections to
10, then FreeRADIUS requests you increase the value as it has ran out.
If I increase the value to 256 it doesn't do this, but it increases the
load on the machine by a large ammount.
