I think there might be much more read access then write access by using
a DB backend for RADIUS. If so it might be enough to have one master to
write and many slaves to read from. Or many master with a kind of sql
proxy like Sequoia or mysql-proxy. The problem with master master for
mysql is, that you have to resync each time you are dropping a table, a
view etc.pp.
