  OK, that's good.

  It depends on how you configure the server.  It's perfectly possible to have it return Access-Accept if the DB is down.

  So... how did you configure the server?

  That doesn't mean anything.  If the issue happens randomly, then it would be rare for it to happen when you're running in debug mode for a short time.

  It would also help to try to understand what you've configured the server to do.

  Where are the attributes coming from?  What happens if the DB is down?
