Hello, I set up a bi-directional binary replication with mysql. It is very nice: some tables go one direction, some in the other direction. Everything over a ssh tunnel (stunnel). But: It seems that the slave thread is "pausing", without reason. "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" shows normal: no error, slave is running. But it is still behind the master. I changed connect-retry to 5 sec and I monitored the connection. Everything looks normal. The server is not very loaded. The only solution is to do "SLAVE STOP; SLAVE START". After that, in one second they are in sync. For the moment I set a cron job to do this. But I really don't like it. Can anyone tell me something about it?
