home_server status_check and radsec

I'm still fairly new to freeradius so be gentle :)

I'm setting up radsec and I had a question on home_server failover.

Since the home_server is by necessity set to 'tcp', radiusd errors out with
a message that 'status_check' must be set to 'none', if you try to set it
to anything.

Does that mean it's not possible to do failover with radsec proxies? I've
got a home_server pool set up with two nodes. When I take down the
first-listed home_server with tcpdump running, the freeradius on the
'client' side just keeps trying to hit the now-disabled server and never
attempts the secondary. Presumably I'm missing something but google is no
help so far.

I can paste configs but I wanted to see first if it was known to just not
be possible. Version is 3.0.4 (on Centos 7.1). The 3.0.4 -> 3.0.10
changelogs didn't have anything promising that sounded like this.

Thanks!
