Regular usage works OK, but we are having some MySQL issues over the tunnel between all areas. Using mysql command line client on a linux server works, but trying to connect using the MySQL Connector J it basically stalls… it seems to open the connection, but then gets stuck. It doesn't get denied or anything, just hangs there. Logging isn’t picking up anything at all and usually very verbose about errors. Any input as to what we can do to fix this/improve the connections would be appreciated. Thanks.</div><br></body></html>
