Proxy load balancing

Hello,

I'm working to setup a proxy load balance to 3 production RADIUS servers
from a CentOS server running freeradius 2.1.12.  I believe I have the
proxy.conf file setup correctly but there seems to be no load balancing.
 All the requests are going to one of the three servers.  I have attached
the proxy.conf file and also the radius debug.  I don't see any errors, it
just appears the client-balance is not working.  Clients are using MAB and
are matching the NULL realm.  I have looked through all the past posts and
can't seem to find an answer.  Am I missing something in my configuration?

Thanks.
