Web authentication RADIUS package shows PHP error if unable to resolve FQDN of RADIUS server
100%
Description
When the DNS record for the RADIUS server used to configure authentication of the web console was temporarily unavailable, any attempt to log into the web interface gave the following error message:
Fatal error: Error converting Address in /usr/local/share/pear/Auth/RADIUS.php on line 218 PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/share/pear/Auth/RADIUS.php, Line: 218, Message: Error converting Address
This makes sense given that DNS lookup failure also means the RADIUS server won't be reachable, but I believe the system should fallback to locally configured users. Since it errors out before that point, it does not get a chance to fail to local.

I never could reproduce this with any combination of DNS failures (no server, server timeout, nxdomain, etc) but I added some exception handling that should catch it if it happens again.

I still was not able to reproduce this, even on 2.4.4-p3, but it all works as expected on 2.4.5. Auth appears to fail gracefully.
