AFAIR, if radius server is down, ACK will not be

The call cannot be accounted and therefor the call is dropped.
So, the radius server is a single point of failure.
not necessarily a SINGLE point of failure, i.e., there can be more than
one radius server. my suggestion is have more than one radius server
and set radius_timeout and radius_retries to small values.
