This means that "www5" has initiated to much bogus connections
(interrupted during intitial handshake, IIRC) and the MySQL server now
blocks connections from this client to protect itself.
This can happen even with a valid client, e.g. if there are problems
with the network connection of similar stuff.
Solution is to connect to the MySQL server (from a different client or
localhost) as MySQL-root and issue "FLUSH HOSTS" or run "mysqladmin
flush-hosts". That will clean all blocks.
Bye,
Benjamin.
