I believe I found my answer... The SQL server is "dual homed" and had 2 default routes, one per interface. I have removed one of the default routes and haven't seen the problem.

No the outage is not consistant and there is not db backup or replication going on. The only thing that is consistant, is that both radius servers, each identical hardware/software/configs, experience the outage at the same time.
Thanks Duane

Well I believe Alan is correct, that it must be related to the database because I have 2 radius servers both sharing the same database, and they both experience this outage at the exact same time. It lasts for about 45 seconds every several hours.
I'm using unixODBC and MSSQL database, the database server is running on a dual proc system and 2 gigs of ram.
During some of these outages (early morning) no one is using the database, only freeradius.
I think I am going to have to check the performance monitors on the MSSQL server to see if there are any spikes or hangs during this time. (I don't think my problem is freeradius, freeradius is just suffering from the condition)
But I've noticed that I get a period every few hours when freeradius doesn't authenticate. I'm not sure what the problem is, but here is the log as captured in /var/log/radiusd
Any idea what could be causing this?
Hi Duane
Good to see you using FreeRADIUS :-)
Probably you have a cron script of some kind running a report or vacuum on your database and it is not responding to RADIUS. Are you using the database for something else as well?

Is the "outage" consistent? Is the a DB replication or backup scheduled at the time the outage occurs?
