We have Cisco controllers and have a script that polls the radius table and 
then queries the radius stats table to combine the address of the radius 
servers with their stats.  This is done on a Unix box with snmpwalk and the 
like.  I will send that out in the morning if you want.

I also did some work and got these same stats into cacti.
