Hello Ricardo,

there is a contact before the select. The contact succeeds but the
subsequent query (DELYREQ) times out. Since it was the query that
returned error and not the contact just before it, FailureBackoffTime is
not triggered.

If you make the DB contact to block, for example using iptables to drop
traffic destined to the DB, it will then time out the connection
attempt. When this happens you will see it start the backoff timer.

Thanks,
Heikki
