If load balancing is not enabled, the WX always uses the first server in the list. Only if the server does not respond is the next server in the list used.

If load balancing is enabled, the first AAA request goes to the first RADIUS server in the list. The second AAA request goes to the second RADIUS server in the list, and so on, until the end of the list is reached, after which the first server in the list is used again.
