um... I assume he means how to configure exim to talk to (>1) MySQL server. The answer is in ยง9.18 of the spec: | For each query, these parameter groups are tried in order until a connection | and a query succeeds. -- i.e., it's failover-style rather than load balancing. If you need load balancing (unlikely in most configurations, I'd have thought) I think you'd need a proxy, or to use (say) embedded perl to do your querying. -- ``Computer-simulators, used to stage mock failures in the flight trainer, weren't working. This was a triumph of accurate simulation, but otherwise not amusing.''
