You should have a look at Radiator, http://www.open.com.au/. Radiator
scales. To any DB you might care.
We are currently in the process of migrating from the Ascend radiusd with a
flat file/lots of hacks to a Radiator/SQL backend setup. So far, I have been
more than pleased.

If you throw both at the same database, it is no problem. They include the
session ID which allows you to sync the databases. No point in running a
backup radiusd with just one database backend, if this fails both will crash
;-)
