What you need to have is radius on host 1 query the radius on host 2 if
it can't validate a user. The PM will only talk with one radius server
at a time. I supposed you could have the radius server NOT respond with
a reject message and wait for the PM to timeout and try the other host.
Take a look at merit radius I think they have the code already written
to query a chain of radius servers.
