Yes, but it shouldn't matter much. The writes and reads are AFAIK sequential.

The biggest problem with that is can the home server REALLY respond

You might want to look at rlm_replicate instead, which is basically
"copy acct packets to home servers, but don't care whether they
succesfully receive/process it or not"
