I had horrible load problems when logging to MySQL. I started logging to syslog and everything ran much more smoothly. Then again...I take in about 3-7 pop connections a second and don't have a beefy MySQL server. Unless you have a specific reason to log to MySQL, I would recommend that you log to syslog and be done with it. If you must log to MySQL, I'm sure that max connections are the problem. -jw-
