Yeah, the tunnels work perfectly if I do this: mysql -u root -p -P 3306 -h 127.0.0.1 database_name Blazing fast (same subnet), almost as fast as a local connection. The server load on the client end dropped like a rock too when I stopped the local MySQL copy (the tunnel to the remote MySQL is what I want to use :). It's just that the scripts and client aren't poking 127.0.0.1 via TCP/IP -- they check sockets and die when the socket isn't there. > cheers and good luck, Thanks! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
