Freeradius Clustering

[David Roze]

If your NAS supports several Radius servers, I wouldn't do any clustering,
but run them in parallele adding each server's IP in the NAS config.
It will detect when a server is unreachable and switch all traffic to other
servers.
Problem with LVS is you become dependant on your OS.
If your NAS does not support multiple servers, I'd go for LVS or Heartbeat

I'd suggest to use LVS (Linux Virtual Server) in a "direct routing"
setup. See: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/VS-DRouting.html

Any ordinary PC will do fine. The number of req/s will likely be
limited by the backend database.
