  That’s not how virtual servers work. The listen section has no configuration which tells the server to do that.

  Yes, that’s how virtual server work.

  No, the eap module will send “inner” authentication data to the inner-tunnel virtual server.  But the eap module still has to run in a separate virtual server. 

  The default examples and comments explain this fairly well.

  Configure the server correctly. Add the eap module to the “outer” virtual server. 

  The default configuration does this for a reason. There’s no documentation which says that the “listen” sections work like you want.

  There’s no magic there which says “run eap through a different virtual server”
