i dont know how good your SQL database is - specification or throughput
capability etc.  have you done benchmarks?   I would personally suggest
that you use the sqlrelay method for the accounting to stop the threads
being caught in accounting processes - as accounting causes update/write
to SQL which is a performance hit (compared to authentication which is just
usually a read)
