I have came thru a number of references which states that LDAP are specialised database and optimized for read.

You should setup the system you're the most familiar with. Unless you've *huge* RADIUS traffic on your site (more than 500 req/s) you won't notice the performance differences.

Would that make it a good idea to authenticate thru LDAP *but* the accounting is handled thru mySQL ? Anybody have done this or am I talking nonsense here?

This is common to use OpenLDAP for auth and MySQL for acct. http://freeradius.org/radiusd/doc/ldap_howto.txt -- Nicolas Baradakis
