Radius load balancing not balancing

We've got a pair of LTMs (running 11.5.0) and I've been trying to set up load balancing for our radius servers which are authenticating our wireless traffic. We're using FreeRadius. We're using MSCH...

There are at least 2 solutions. One is to build and iRule and attach it to your iApp. See https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.RADIUS__avp.ashx. The other is to apply the radius profile with persist-avp (tmsh create ltm profile radius radiusLB persist-avp). I believe the latter is more straightforward, but unfortunately it is not implemented in the f5.radius iApp in 11.5.

Martin- I set up a pair of freeradius servers, and am successfully load balancing between them with datagram-load-balancing and no radiusLB profile using a simple radtest -t mschap test. Is there an easy way for me to reproduce the problem you are seeing?
