My last experience with MySQL master-master replication and FreeRADIUS was 
that mysql corrupted my radacct table within 24 hours. This was 4-5 years 
ago, however you have to understand the constraints of databases and the fact 
that sql replication is a "hard" problem.

radrelay on the other hand is easy and works perfectly!
