FreeRADIUS sends proxy packets out the proper interface, but with the wrong source IP (simple udpfromto problem?)

  You're running Linux, right?  And both interfaces are on the same network?

  It's a Linux bug.  The Linux people think it isn't a bug, so it hasn't
been fixed for 10+ years.

  As a hint, FreeRADIUS uses the standard socket calls to send/recv
packets.  There's no magic "send packets out the wrong interface" code
in it.  All of the routing is handled by the kernel.  So... blame the
kernel for routng problems.

  You can set "src_ipaddr" for each home server.  See raddb/proxy.conf.
 This is documented.

  No.
