Hi David, do you mean that your server is still getting new connections or only active ones are maintained? How do you disable the server: through the socket or through the configuration file + reload ? RDS is long lived TCP connections. Disbaling a server in the conf file will disable it in the new process which will handle the new connections. The old process remains active and maintain established TCP connections. Baptiste
