That's as good of a guess as any of us will be able to conjure up. Since you've given us no details, no code and no error messages, we're basically relegated to blind guessing. I don't think that's what you want, so if you still have a question, I suggest you start by investigating the relevant logs. If you can't figure out the issue from there, post _relevant_ snippets to the list. Also remember that this is the PHP mailing list. (Even though we tend to masquerade as the MySQL list from time to time) If it's an issue with your very likely non-PHP load balancer, we can't really help you out. --Sean Greenslade -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
