Expand the address record into multiple home servers, each deriving 
their secrets/ports from the original.

Then if the original home server is referenced in a pool, add all the 
other ones associated with it...

That way stuff like client balance would still work.

Yes, acct+auth means that account packets will go out on the defined 
port + 1.
Saves having to duplicate home servers for acct+auth.
