Hi Evert,
On Cisco access servers you can have more than one Radius server by configuring two radius servers as follows...

radius-server host 1.1.1.1 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
radius-server host 1.1.1.2 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646

There's probably more ways to do this but I know this way works. It will deny the user on the first server, then the RAS will try the second Radius server to authenticate the user.
Good luck,
Lewis
