I suggest you read radiusd.conf that comes with whatever version of FR
you installed first, and see if the tunables there are enough for your
purposes.

Do you want to automatically increase max_requests? Until how big,
unlimited? And what do you want to do with requests already handled,
keep waiting forever?

If you have "slow response from external module", then you should fix
that module. For example,
http://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2013-June/066900.html

There's also https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/issues/880
, so if you get that similar error message, latest 2.x should already
fix that.
