I am curious as to the stress-testing of radius. Did you actually simulate >1000 people logging in *at the exact same time*, or just people logging more-or-less at random until they totalled 1000? Regardless of how many total users are logged in to the NAS, radius is basically idle (that is, either sitting in a select() loop, or blocked in recv()) unless someone logs in or out (an auth or start/stop accting packet arrives from the NAS). Radius is simple enough that there should be very little inherent performance overhead in any implementation. Your bottleneck will be your logging functions (e.g. whether you insert into a database, write to file, etc.) and whatever additional customizations you do yourself.
