I don't know why the system should slow down on a few connection attempts, but it it possible that your mysql port (3306) is open to the outside world? Normal pratice suggests that those ports should be locked down so they will only accept connections from your web servers or other internal systems. The outside world should not even know that they are there. -- - michael dykman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - All models are wrong.
