Thanks Oliver - your post helped me think though our deployment. I think we
can simplify things by using a the same cert on each RADIUS server for each
EAP instance. Then we can renew it with a 'sign on behalf'.

I wish I had the skills to contribute to any of the great open source
projects we love and use. I'd gladly do so!
