Yup I'm using status server.

in  local-config/nrps.conf I've now got

server_pool eduroam {
        home_server = eduroam1
        home_server = eduroam2
        home_server = eduroam0
        type = client-port-balance
}

and 

home_server eduroam0 {
        ipaddr = ${eduroam_config.server0}
        #ipv6addr = ${eduroam_config.server0}
        secret = ${eduroam_config.secret0}
        port = 1812
        type = auth+acct
        require_message_authenticator = yes
        nostrip
        response_window         = 5
        zombie_period           = 40
        revive_interval         = 60
        status_check            = status-server
        check_interval          = 30
        num_answers_to_alive    = 3
……...
}
