(RADIATOR) FailureBackoffTime within <AuthBy SQLRADIUS>

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Claudio -

Yes state is maintained for a particular request, however state is 
*not* maintained for a Host object, hence FailureBackoffTime has no 
relevance to the AuthBy RADIUS when used in an AuthBy SQLRADIUS clause 
(although it does have relevance for the SQL database).

regards

Hugh
