R: Radius Load-Balancing concept

I'm not running postgres, but the concepts are the same.
I set up a mysql replication (every dbms is slave of the other one) and
one virtual ip which i configured in FR.
When one server goes down the other takes the virtual ip address and
continues to respond to radius requests.
Accounting is consistent since both databases replicate each other.
Uniqueness of accounting entry (remember that we have an auto_increment
field in the radacct table) is guaranteed using different step increment
values for the two dbms: the first server starts at 1 and increments two
units (so: 1, 3, 5, ...), while the second server starts at 2 and
increments two units (so: 2, 4, 6, ...).
