This morning I upgraded a couple of our radius servers from samba 3.6.9 
to 4.0.0-rc4. It works, but it's not yet clear how much of an 
improvement it makes. Early indication is that it helps spread the load 
more evenly between domain controllers at peak times, but it is by no 
means the magic bullet.
