  No.

  Why would you do that?  The OS already supports multiple processes.
Just run another process.

  The RADIUS server is about doing RADIUS.  It reads packets, processes
them, and responds to packets.  There are *no* threads except ones
processing packets.  There are *no* timer events, except those related
to processing packets.
