You might as well consider using a cluster of PacketFence servers.

The built in PacketFence clustering can already do that, using HAproxy.

Scaling is an art.
The first rule is to find what is the bottleneck.
Have a look at the built-in graphite metrics of PF.
They should allow you to see where time is spent.
Once you know that, then you can fix it and avoid spending your own time on a 
wild-goose chase.

See also the apache mod-status page if in doubt (when a problem is happening).
It will tell you how many apache processes are currently running, and what they 
are doing.
