  Yes.  That's why there are home_server_pools.  You can configure them
as "failover".  See the comments in raddb/proxy.conf.

  I'm not sure what's unclear about proxy.conf.  Right near the top, it
says:

#  Load-balancing and failover between home servers is handled via
#  a "home_server_pool" section.
