[JDEV] mod_auth_radius

Sorry, I didn't form my message well.  We have an existing radius server, so
the concept of not having to touch it or create a new password store, or for
that matter even link our Jabber system to our "main" system AT ALL is
pretty damn attractive.  So given that new possibility, my question was
what's the "next" scale problem.  Does 500k users mean I better not be using
stock jabber 1.4 xdb stuff or is it doable at that size?

Radius is just an authentication protocol. It's not a general 
database. 

You'll still need a seperate system to manage messages, 
presence, rosters, etc.
