Currently, I have one IP address on my server, with one MySQL server. In the near future, I'll have a server with multiple IP addresses and I'm going to install MySQL 4.0 and 5.0 in parallel. My first design was to use different ports for both servers, but that's always a little complicated to configure for the clients. Now I want to use one IP for one MySQL server. Both are external addresses, which can be assigned with a DNS name for simple access. But the 4.0 server still has some system tasks and also for legacy reasons, I'd like to keep the 4.0 server listening on the localhost interface. This also allows me to assign more strict access rights for these system-related tasks. They can be limited to the local host instead of any host. -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Does the movement of the trees make the wind blow?" http://newsboard.unclassified.de - Unclassified NewsBoard Forum -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
