Did the gibberish look something like this?

If so, you got through to the mysql server. (See the version number?)
You weren't connecting as a proper mysql client, so the last string doesn't make sense to you, and your answer didn't make sense to the mysql server, so it hung up on you. The point of the test was simply to see if you could get through to mysql on port 3306 (port is open) or not (port is blocked, probably by a firewall). It looks like you got through.

I also get the jibberish, and a connection lost error message. Is it something in MySql server that I'm not setting up correctly?

Ok, with leaving the : off the end, and just typing telnet web-server2
3306 I get some jibberish on the screen, and a 'connection lost' message
after a few seconds. That's coming from a machine on the same side of
the firewall as the Sql server. For the other IIS server and Coldfusion
server to the Sql server, still get a 'can't connect message'. I'm
pretty sure its not a firewall issue, but I'll have to take another look.
Repeat that telnet test from the machine running ColdFusion.
