Further to Alan's suggestion I will make the following suggestions, none of 
them are mandatory, but this is how I would do it in your case.

* Use Postgresql as a DB backend. You may find MySQL good enough for you (Or 
may own Oracle which is great :-), but in my experience Postgres is better 
than MySQL under high loads. Others may disagree with me.
* If you have the budget for it and reliability is and issue, use 3 (or more) 
machines where you have 2 identical machines acting as RADIUS servers and one 
machine with fast hard disks acting as the DB backend. (If you wish you can 
have mutiple DBs. It all depends on budget)
* Set all of your NAS boxes with both RADIUS servers listed, but have 50% with 
one RADIUS server as the primary, and the rest with the other RADIUS server 
as the primary.

You don't say if you need to do accounting on the fly or not. If you do wish 
to have the Accounting records going directly to a DB rather than post 
processed, your DB server will need to be quite fast and have FAST DISKS.

Hope that helps
