My server synchronisation script looks like:

 rsync -a /etc/raddb root@remotehost:/etc --delete
 ssh root@remotehost /etc/init.d/freeradius stop
 ssh root@remotehost /etc/init.d/freeradius start

I run it AFTER I have already verified that the config works on the 
localhost, and I use ssh keys so that it doesnt ask for the password for 
each line...

If you have different ssl certs on each machine then you will need to modify 
the rsync line..

Cheers
