Hi, First, thanks for the great article you posted on: http://www.howtoforge.com/loadbalanced_mysql_cluster_debian We've implemented what you've done with some difference: we're using Mandriva Linux instead. We did not use Debian because the Debian distro we used could not detect our SATA drives for some reason. The problem we encounter is that we keep encountering "Mysql connection lost during query" errors. It would occur randomly throughout our webpage. We tried different timeout settings for the nodes (thru mysql CLI interface) to no avail. (Is not using the Debian distro a big issue here?) Do you know of any other website that talks about resolving this? Thanks for any info you can give regarding this, Rich
What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? What's the exact error message? Is there anything in the logs?
