Actually, there is a backoff timer that is probably what you are seeing.
The default is 10 minutes (600 seconds), which says that if there is a problem
wait this many seconds before trying to connect to the database again. You can
change this with the following in your AuthBy SQL:
<Handler ....>
<AuthBy SQL>
....
FailureBackoffTime 180 # set the timer to 3 minutes (whatever)
</AuthBy>
</Handler>
Note that this is in Radiator 2.14.1 (and the documentation will be fixed for
the next release).
