interesting...I dont think that this has been discussed in eduroam (well, certainly
not recently) - and if all servers did this then nothing would work in a proxy system

;-)   in the UK we did trials with EAPBALANCE and it didnt work well with many
of the connecting servers.... we use primary/secondary/tertiary (I'm now wondering
if the US found our doc ;-) )

yes. the conversation cannot get broken up - both end destinations and middle
boxes dont like that - especially since another middle box could choose a different
destination
