Of course, it's changed - it retransmits it because it timed out
waiting the responce. But RFC 2866 says:

   Identifier

      The Identifier field is one octet, and aids in matching requests
      and replies.  The RADIUS server can detect a duplicate request if
      it has the same client source IP address and source UDP port and
      Identifier within a short span of time.

Once ids are different, radiusd can't detect duplicate request
and process them as they were independent.

As I said, the server processed the first request too long - more than
5 seconds. It happens sometimes, and I don't think it's too bad.

In any way, thanks for the input.
