I decreased wait_timeout (from 28,800 to 300) to kill off sleeping threads. This morning, the server stopped accepting connections and gave me this error:
ERROR 1129: Host 'hostname' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' flush-hosts worked and I increased the max_connect_errors from 10 to 1000 to kind of prevent this in the future. But what causes this error? If you read the comments on http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/l/Blocked_host.html it seems that decreasing wait_timeout does cause this. Is there a bug in mysql where it thinks that killing off sleeping threads is really a connect error? I'm using 3.23.45, btw.
