(RADIUS) Secondary radius authentication server.

I am looking for a solution for the following problem.

Setup:

Linux box #1, RadHat 4.2, Radius 2.01 (shadow), raddb has some special
entries, but 95% of users authenticated with default entry using
passwd/shadow files.

Linux box #2, RedHat 4.2, Radius 2.01 (shadow), raddb is identical to
raddb on Linux box #1.

Linux #1 is the mail server and personal web server.

Linux #2 is for my Virtual websites.
I do not want all of the normal users to have access to Linux#2 (I don't
want the same password file).

What is the best way to make this a secondary authentication server
without using the same password file?

Is it possible to make the default radius entry on Linux#2 point to a
shadow/passwd file that is not used for login, etc. on this box?
ex:

DEFAULT Password = "/somepath/file" rather than DEFAULT Password = "UNIX"

Thanks,
