Freeradius, bind addresses, and multihoming

I've compiled freeradius with the --with-udpfromto directive.
Everything works as expected when I bind to all IPs:
listen {
ipaddr = *
port = 1812
type = auth
}
listen {
ipaddr = *
port = 1813
type = acct
}
However, if I specify multiple IPs to bind to (rather than just one or
all), it reverts to the the behaviour of responding to all requests
with a source IP of the first bind directive listed. For example:
listen {
ipaddr = 192.168.1.250
port = 1812
type = auth
}
listen {
ipaddr = 192.168.1.250
port = 1813
type = acct
}
listen {
ipaddr = 1.2.3.4
port = 1812
type = auth
}
listen {
ipaddr = 1.2.3.4
port = 1813
type = acct
}
In this configuration, freeradius will always respond from
192.168.1.250, even if the initial request was sent to 1.2.3.4. This
is obviously breaking things for me, as I'd rather not have freeradius
listen on every interface on the server (and there are a number of
them). Am I doing something wrong? Am I expecting the wrong behaviour?
Or is this a bug?
