At the minor risk of being wrong and corrected (I don't mind)...

The difference between a reject and a fail is what determines if it
continues. Am I correct in reading that you want an alternative only for
when the mysql database is down?

If the DB is down, the first DEFAULT entry will fail, not reject the
account. That failure will fire off the next DEFAULT entry with a backup
authentication method.

If the DB is up and the username is located, gnu-radius sends the
response reject/accept based on the credentials and stops processing the
users file.

No worries, it's not required around here. You might try sending your
questions in your native language as well as in English. You would be
surprised how many languages the maintainer (and others) know on this
list. Keep the English version though because that and French are all I
can handle.
