this also sounds interesting, under extreme conditions, when, in our
case, BT dropped around 30k users simultaneously during one
maintenance window (SDH MUX software changes), we had to resort to
forcibly killing and restarting our freeradius proxies every 5s in
order to get users back online. it would handle requests for the
first 2-3s after being started and then pegged at 100% cpu and served
no further requests. any patches which touch the request load are of
definite interest to us. I would appreciate it if you could forward
them to me?

For my last major upgrade push, lasting some few months, I put in quite
a bunch of patches for the system I am currently running -- iirc, thread
requests and dying after the "thundering herd" was something I tried to
deal with. Currently the last thing I attempted to address was
preventing core dumps after mysql database becomes "locked".
YMMV but you can have a look at it at http://www.jmaimon.com/freeradius
specfically from the debian repository, grab the source package and look
at the packages I am using today right now.
