Hello, we're using mysql 3.23.33 on a separate Linux server, but about 50% of all connections go wrong and get an error like this: "Aborted connection 84620 to db: 'xxx' user: 'yyy' host: `aaa.bbb.cc.ddd.' (Got timeout reading communication packets)". There are 3 frontends (Sun) webservers. We're making about 15 connections per second. Has anybody any tips about the configuration and give advice about how to prevent those errors.
