Does it automatically reconnect? That certainly seems like the wrong thing to do, especially in light of the docs for connect_cached. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201211042146 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAlCXKI0ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsgMAACg4VdWNpWYgyrENkXKhO9G5Mez /fkAoM6hBowTxDCAvKOD6G7yQBgItiO1 =85sU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
