Ouch, You're probably right, you can't totally prevent it - not without adding some local redundancy - however you can react to it faster. The first step towards that is actively monitoring the connection tunnel.
I would create a schedule task / test file that looks to see if you can access a table in the DB - something dumb you know will always be there - if the query fails it notifies you immediately. I don't know much about your VPN setup, but if you can also hit a file system across it, then you may want to periodically try to do some file interaction on it as well - either test should tell you if the VPN is up or not. =] -- Alan Rother Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, www.AZCFUG.org Twitter: @AlanRother ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:348807 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
