  This is documented in the comments at the top of the files.

  The "default" virtual server handles normal RADIUS traffic.  However,
some EAP types set up a TLS tunnel between the PC and the RADIUS server.
The data *inside* of the TLS tunnel has to be authenticated.

  So... it's run through the "inner-tunnel" virtual server.

  Not "sometimes".  That is a very bad way to think about it.  The debug
log shows *exactly* what the server is doing.  Read it slowly, it will
make sense.

  Nope.
