Not true. Backup is used when primary is down or not responding( overload
etc...). It can also be used to load share your authentication traffic.

*Convert users file to dbm( if using radius users files for
users profiles). Builddbm available is unix distribution of radius do
that. 
NB: You can't use anymore duplicate users profile (normal user account
or DEFAULT profiles)

* or if you are using /etc/passwd, move to a system which support a
database /etc/passwd. FreeBsd has this feature. i have heard about patch
to implement it on Redhat, but never tried.


* use radius distribution with support SQL authentication and build a
SQL database of your users.


hope this helps
