You don't really want to replicate a database, due to the fact that 
there is a lot in there that decides if the user is allowed access or 
not. (i.e. usage logs). What you'll want to do, is pick on database as 
the "master", then change the other hotspot to run off that database. 
Currently it's not as easy as it should be, you'll need to edit files in 
/etc/grase/ and there is also one in /etc/freeradius that has database 
settings.

In the future I'll be making it possible to have master and slave nodes.
