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)

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?
