I had horrendous problems running MySQL (locking issues, SQL *hanging* issues, 
ugh) -- I dropped MySQL like a bad habit in favour of Postgres which is 
overall faster when inserting the accounting records for over 1000 concurrent 
users (7-8000 subscribers).

I am, however, looking for a method to do a hot failover.  I'm trying to do 
something to keep the accounting records intact.  Multiple RADIUS servers 
talking back to a single DB would do it, but Postgres doesn't have a decent 
way to replicate yet.  :-(
