You can get failover by defining aaa groups.

example:

aaa group server radius acct
 server 1.2.3.4 auth-port 1745 acct-port 1746
!
aaa group server radius auth
 server 1.2.3.5 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
 server 1.2.3.6 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
!         
radius-server host 1.2.3.4 auth-port 1745 acct-port 1746 key X
radius-server host 1.2.3.5 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key Y
radius-server host 1.2.3.6 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813 key Z
