  That will likely be difficult.  The EAP module wants to do all of EAP by itself.  So you can't really do one EAP, and then another.

  The better solution is to key off of something else to select which EAP module to use.  e.g. a domain name, LDAP group, etc.

	if (Realm == "example.com") {
		eap1
	}
	else {
		eap2
	}

  It's better to just pick the right EAP module to use at the start.

  EAP is a lot more complex than simple fail-over can handle.  So no, that isn't possible.
