Totally home grown - was MySQL and shell scripts, now LAMP. When we
started (in 1992) - we used 'icradius' - which we hacked to work for
us.. Freeradius is *so* much more configurable.

The Database is the core - processes/apps like authentication via
freeradius, MTA via exim - etc all hang on to the DB.
Thoughts were the DB can become clustered and services can be replicated
on to new hardware as existing hardware becomes too expensive to simply
upgrade/replace.. however hardware seems to have kept up.

With Radius - as many customers move to 'always on' access such as ADSL
- actual numbers of radius authentication queries does not seem to be
climbing so much - rather decreasing.
