nice to hear :)

Unfortunately, HASHBALANCE only works with AuthBy RADIUS, as it inherits from 
AuthBy RADIUS and just overrides the chooseHost() function.

Same functionality could be achieved by running three instances of Radiator 
on a same host, where first uses HASHBALANCE to proxy UDP RADIUS requests to 
other instances which proxy requests with RadSec:

                            --2nd Radiator--RadSec-->
                           |
1st Radiator--HASHBALANCE--
                           |
                            --3rd Radiator--RadSec-->


Or by creating a new AuthHASHBALANCERADSEC.pm based on AuthHASHBALANCE.pm, but 
which inherits from AuthRADSEC :)

Currently Gossip notifications only work with AuthBy RADIUS. 

We’ll add a Gossip support for RadSec later, probably to 4.16 patches, and look 
into implementing equivalent balancing support for RadSec as what there is currently 
for RADIUS:

AuthEAPBALANCE.pm
AuthHASHBALANCE.pm
AuthLOADBALANCE.pm
AuthVOLUMEBALANCE.pm
AuthROUNDROBIN.pm
AuthRADIUSBYATTR.pm
