  For one, you probably don't want to run only one server.  If you
have 100 users and your RADIUS machine dies, it's not a big deal.  If
you have a million users, it's much more of a problem.

  Also, at a million or so users, the load may get significant enough
that you could need another machine.

  No.  RADIUS doesn't work like that.  Users do *not* connect to the
server.  Ever.
