  Read the debug output to see where the differences are.

  Why "add realm name"?  Why not just "proxy traffic"?   The two
statements are *very* different.

  On top of that, you *can't* proxy by EAP type.  The server recommends
an EAP type... which means that by the time an EAP type is selected, the
EAP session has already started.  You can't switch an EAP session from
one server to another.

  That won't work.  Ever.

  If your NAS sends that NAS-Port-Type, it should work.

  That should work, too.

  It SHOULD work.  If it doesn't, read the FAQ for "it doesn't work".

  i.e. You've posted configurations that you think *might* work.  You've
 also said that you tried *other* configurations (not posted) that
didn't work.  How do you expect anyone to help you when you don't say
what you're doing, and you don't say what happened?
