Don't use a firewall for Cluster traffic. It just slows things down with added latency (really not what you want). We (ndb) gets the operating system to assign free ports to work on - so it's not predictable. The protocols that MySQL Cluster uses between the nodes are NOT secure and if you swamp that network with other traffic, performance will suffer (including the possibility of missing heartbeats). i.e. a whole world of bad. Run the cluster traffic on its own private network with no firewalls getting in the way. easiest and fastest way. -- Stewart Smith, Software Engineer MySQL AB, www.mysql.com Office: +14082136540 Ext: 6616 VoIP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile: +61 4 3 8844 332 Jumpstart your cluster: http://www.mysql.com/consulting/packaged/cluster.html
