Just put two Host entries in the one AuthBy RADIUS. See section 6.25.1 in the
Radiator 2.14.1 reference manual.

AuthBy UNIX will read the entire password file into memory (and re-read the
file if it is modified), so the performance is very good.
AuthBy SYSTEM will use the system calls to ask for a user record, so depending
on your system this can be significantly slower.
See sections 6.21 and 6.31 in the reference manual for further details.
There are also some indicative perfomance numbers in section 22.0 of the manual.
