I think I can answer the first couple questions.
If the user authentication fails to the first server the second server
will NOT be contacted.
The reason for a second server is if the first server fails to respond
to an authentication request. A third server can even be configured,
and it is wise to use the 'local' setting at the end of that command,
unless you do not want any access while all the authentication servers
are not responding.
Last, I am almost positive that authentication has to happen first.
