I suppose your mysql DB server isn't used to authenticate your users,
otherwise having your radius server work even if your DB is down would make
no sense (unless you have another module able to authenticate users?).

If your DB server is used only for logging purpose (accounting,
post-authenticate, ...). You may find interresting information in the
doc/configurable_failover file in order to make the DB module failure be
non-critial.
