Yes, I think both types are fine. This would also be expected and 
reasonable if, for example, Access-Request is used for probing.

See also AddToKeepaliveRequest for populating the probe contents.

This option is available for probing peers that do not respond to 
Status-Server messages. This was added to Radiator 4.20 as suggested by 
Paul Dekkers. It was needed to get probing to work with some eduroam 
organisations, if I remember correctly.

Thanks,
Heikki
