Nathan, we were checking this issue in our labs. the issue seems to be that one extra connect() is tried on the dead server, and the 'freezing' just happens to be the block till the first connect() times out. So, after a minute or so, once the first connect() times out, things proceed smooth. We are looking into why the first connect() is blocking. thanks for your feedback! avati 2007/8/3, Nathan Allen Stratton <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > > On Fri, 3 Aug 2007, Anand Avati wrote: > > > ok! thank you so much for you co-operation and support! let me know of > any > > other issues > > Issue now is that when a box is down all clients freeze.
