I think that authenticating everyone if the database went down would be
called 'foolsafe' :) If your database is down you're out of business.
There are much better 'failsafe' methods - search for fail-over in the
FreeRadius documentation.

Ok,
Well with no answer to this question let me ask it another way...
In the event of database (via ODBC) failure... is there a way I can
make the radius server go into "failsafe" mode, and just authenticate
anything?

Hi,
We use FreeRadius with unixODBC and the rlm_sql to connect to a
Microsoft SQL database. All works great... except if the SQL database
goes down, firewall has the translate table, someone trips over a
network cable.... anything that causes the connection between the
radius and SQL to be disturbed, it just says
"There are no DB handles available...." instead of reconnecting... the
only way I've found to reconnect, is to restart...
Any comments or thoughts on this problem?
