We've been using freeradius (from 0.9.7 to 1.1.7) with cisco 10k,
7200, 7301 as both PPPoE and L2TP aggregation platform for years.
During that period we ran into only one issue (I think it was with
1.1.3) when the server crashed under very heavy load for no apparent
reason. Beyond that - I don't think there is any other radius server
that gives you the flexibility and robustness that you get for free
with freeradius.
I know of freeradius installations (from the 1.1 branch) that worked
completely flawlessly for years.
I'd only suggest an upgrade to a more recent version (2.0.0 just got released).

If you have any questions - please ask.
