Hi jde,
this sounds very strange.
Please post send the results of an traceroute and ping to the list.
Perhaps, the bandwidth could be the problem.
We have a constellation like you with our boxes in germany.
The webservers are located in karslruhe, the mysql-boxes in frankfurt.
Everything works fine...
Regards,
Sebastian
