I see. Take a look at the following URL:

It may give you some hints.

Well, actually this is a major rewrite aimed to optimize performance
and make the SQL connections more stable. Instead of spawning a child
process for each incoming request (like the 0.96 series does), the
main server keeps a pool of subprocesses and acts as a dispatcher
among them.

Among the most significant changes the new release allows to have several
radius servers per a realm, it includes lots of improvements in
extension mechanisms and provides the new extension method `filter'.
