Radiator will not cache any proxy responses.
You will probably have to generate a flat users file at the central site and
distribute it to the remote site(s) by automated scp (or equivalent). Then you
can set up a configuration to fall back to the local file if the remote site is
unreachable.

btw - if the central site is unreachable is there any point in still letting
your users connect?
