RadSec | Status-Server Support

Hi All!

Does RadSec support Status-Server (I only see reference to UDP in RFC
5997)? In RFC 6614 for RadSec, however, I do see reference to
Status-Server, but in practice, we can't seem to get it to work (probably
PEBKAC).

NAS (standalone Aruba AP) --> FreeRADIUS Proxy (macOS) --> Nginx VIP (TCP
2083) --> FreeRADIUS Servers (RHEL 9)

The NAS sends RADIUS via UDP to the proxy, which then proxies it to TCP for
RadSec. We were expecting the proxy itself to send Status-Server requests
to the FreeRADIUS VIP, but it doesn't seem to do so, and we don't see any
Status-Server attempts when the proxy is in debug.

Many thanks in advance for any guidance!
