If you have the hardware (RadiusNT takes very little CPU usage) then I
recommend NOT running RadiusNT on your SQL Servers. I don't recommend
running ANYTHING on your SQL Servers. Build them so that they wont
go down and you'll be in good shape.

Some of the new RadiusNT 2.5.200 features will greatly help here, as
