I suppose that depends on the number of sessions you have and how much
bandwidth they're running.  ERX-310 has a hard number of sessions at
4000 or 8000 or something (hardware-based cards and there are only a
couple of slots, or maybe one once you actually put a wan interface in
it, I don't remember correctly).

You should definitely look into L2TPNS for PPPoE termination and see
if it fits your needs.  It didn't fit ours due to lack of support for
Ascend-Data-Filter (radius attribute 242), but it looked quite nifty
otherwise and a lot of folks are using it.
