Database servers: Mac OS X 10.6.8 MySQL 5.5.25a and
5.1.49sp1-enterprise-gpl-pro
Lasso Servers: Linux Lasso 8.5.6

Here is the scenario we had last week:
Two of our database servers were blocked at the firewall level due to our
internal security processes (not my group).
Our lasso servers that access those databases became unresponsive. From
the server logs, it appears that they were trying to repeatedly access the
database servers. We do have a process that connects every 15 minutes to
those servers, so repeatedly getting no answer probably led to some of
those issues.

We are trying to figure out what actually happens to Lasso when it cannot
reach a database. What is the timeout? What gets hung up? And the big
question: how do we mitigate against these problems should the database
become unreachable again?

Is there is specific log details that would be helpful to anyone wishing
to provide help, let me know what you'd like to see and I'll ask our
server administrators for that data.
