 I dont want to do this,,, I just want that requests from NAS (Their
are thousands of NAS, which send requests for AAA to FR) should be
distributed among many backend Free Radius servers.

No it didnot,

Yes this was in my mind, so further research cleared me that a NAS
have some backup server IP's (may have multiple backup IP's that can
be used if a proxy server become down). So i can configure multiple
Proxy servers, which are load balancing among same Freeradius servers.
hopefully u understand the scenario. Thanks
