If you get "Connection failed" no one is listening!
"Connection Refused" means someone is listening, you just don't know who.

Someone said look at you ODBC DNS list, and I think you are asking for a
method to programmatically find MySql servers, without looking at a ODBC

If I were you, I would start/temporarily with assuming the MySql are

will you be supporting clusters?
if not you can scan for listeners on 3306

Once installed the drivers you will have to create the (System) Data Source
