(radius) Server certificate doesn't have to be unique. You can copy the
same certificate to all the radius servers that will be accepting
clients issued by that certificate.

I was thinking, in this pki A trust in B only if A certified B. There 
maybe better solutions, responding to real life, like A trust in B only 
if B give credentials accepted by A. By this way, the general 
certification architecture is more dynamic. Server administrator only 
are worried about serverside pki but, he must have crl's from clientside 
pki, and can accept whatever he wants.
It's only an opinion, i think freeradius is a great job :) for example 
with its modular behavior and configuration possibilities.
