So with skip-name-resolve in my.cnf (and MySQL restarted), it should
be okay to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the GRANT table since localhost
resolves without DNS lookup? Or do I need to specify [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sorry, just need to clarify this bit before changing a few things.
Thanks again.

Yes, you can still use a hostname in the connection string, that's
not what mysql uses it for, that hostname gets you from the client
to the server. If you use GRANT to permit access from certain hosts
IE 'grant all on mydb.* to 'mydbuuser'@'%.mydomain.com'. Then the
server will not be able to resolve those named permissions from the
connecting IP back to a domain name matched to a grant to allow
login. Also I don't think you can use subnets in a grant, you can
use a single IP. However 'myuser'@'%' should continue to work just
fine as should localhost using the file socket. Everything else
should behave normally. Localhost connections are usually through
the the mysql socket file (/tmp/mysql.sock) not 127.0.0.1 and is
mapped to localhost.
