Is there another more safe way to do the BackOff.  What I'm trying to do
is when a SQLquery is Timeout by Radiator mark the server as "down" and do
the next AuthBy Clause.
I saw a pair of question about the same issue near 2002 :
http://www.open.com.au/pipermail/radiator/2002-October/005289.html

Please help me here.

I'm using :
Radiator 4.9
perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi DBI : 1 .622
DBD:mysql  4.022

Regards,
Ricardo.-

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
