It had been suggested that our DNS failed prior to this event. I don't think MySQL uses DNS, but I am not entirely sure.
If the db, user, etc. tables in the mysql system database (containing privileges, etc.) contain host names instead of IP-addresses I suspect it needs a DNS to resolve these...
If I get a state where a 'kill' will not cause MySQL to exit. Is there any other know way to ask MySQL to exit cleanly?
MySQL server was probably waiting for a bunch of DNS requests? Until a timeout occurs it will probably keep the connection waiting. This can cause a lot of connections to occur until you reach max_connections at which point it will not accept new connections anymore.
