Query on UDP proxy socket using freeradius version 3.0.16

[saurabha badhai]

Yes customer deployed load balancer based on the source port map to
specific AAA server, Observed source port change for an ongoing
authentication session, access-request is initiated from a different port
after few access-challenges causing the load balancer to send the request
to a different AAA  and then get rejected.

Is this behavior proper and expected, source port change for an ongoing
authentication session ?
