(RADIATOR) Database support fault tolerance

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Tony -

There is already an AcctFailedLogFileName available in the AuthBy SQL 
clause that you can use to store the accounting records if the database 
is unreachable.

See section 6.28.19 in the Radiator 3.6 reference manual 
("doc/ref.html").

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
