If it could be set up to just fall back to using a local connection in the event of a SQL server outage, that might help things a bit. Anyone know how that might work?
Well, you can always fall back to LDAP if SQL isn't working.. Just something like:
passdb sql { .. } passdb ldap { .. }
Or just 'passdb pam { ... }' for the second one in our case, since we're using system auth with pam_ldap/nss_ldap. Is the SQL connection/query timeout configurable? It would be nice to make a very cursory attempt at proxying, and immediately give up and use a local connection if anything isn't working.
