problem with radclient

The scenario is that radius is behind load balancer which advertizes it's public ip address and forward packets to another ip address on radius (which has different ip) . Advertized public ip address on radius is binded to lo:0 interface. Hence the need for udpfromto. This is a setup to have HA cluster of radius servers and only one advertized ip for the NAS.

IIRC, radclient looks for Packet-Src-IP-Address and then bind()s the
UDP/TCP socket to that IP for sending.

I never really understand how people have all these crazy problems with
UDP IPs and so on, or what udpfromto is for - we just bind sockets to
the correct IPs and it all works :o/
