I am troubleshooting potential issues on a WiMax system. Typically we have the FR server on a LAN link but some customers have WAN links. My thought is disconnects on a re-auth session causing outages.

Hmm so if say the wireless inserted 55-65ms of latency and we have another 50ms of WAN latency it could cause some real issues with EAP.
It shouldn't cause issues - but you will observe the latency (as well clients when authenticating). Most EAP timers are on the order of seconds, not sub-second. Just be aware of the various timers, and don't tune them aggressively. Obviously if you can co-locate a RADIUS server with the NAS, this is preferable. Clearly not possible for eduroam, but if you have the option. What kind of deployment are you doing?
