Wandering slightly off-topic here...

I often find RADIUS is an easier way to setup a highly available 
(and perhaps too flexible) AuthN/AuthZ service, but I've never used 
PG's RADIUS implementation.   I was curious and I took a look at 
the documentation...

I can't tell if PG supports querying a secondary RADIUS server?  

I don't see how I would do it with the syntax here ... 
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/auth-methods.html

Are multiple servers not supported?
