Aside from tinkering with FreeRADIUS code (and running a large number of 
production servers) I also tinker with and run pmacct which I highly 
recommend as a netflow/sflow solution. We have a number of deployments of 
both on the same Postgresql backend and as long as your DB server is specced 
correctly you shouldn't have any trouble.

My pmacct rpms are at:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/monitoring/

And my FreeRADIUS rpms are at:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/peternixon/

Integration of the 2 different sets of accounting data is left as an excercise 
to you :-)

Cheers
