Hello, I am starting to notice some funny behaviour in our MySQL setup. (3.23.39) Our database server will randomly stop accepting connections on port 3306 , or rather, they simply hang in limbo and appear to cause a TIME_WAIT connection on our database server. This causes our website to hang , since the web server is waiting for the connection to close before it does its thing I think. There is not an overload of actual queries going on, on the contrary, usually show processlist shows about 10 processes most sleeping, and no real SQL activity. This is appearing aall over the place in our SQL logs: 010813 11:19:33 Aborted connection 3993 to db: 'xxxx' user: 'xxxx' host: `xxx.xxx.xxx' (Got an error reading communication packets) I have done tcpdump on the connections and it appears as if a TCP session is started between the two boxes, yet doesn't get any real data sent between them, and hangs the connxion. Does anyone know what directions I should be looking here? I am having a hard time pinning down the source of the problem, and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Aaron
