[Openswan Users] MySQL over Openswan VPN tunnel

[Christopher Slagel]

Thanks Simon.  Through some research I found that that might be the issue,
and I¹ve tried editing our /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 files
and messing with the MTU (adding MTU=³xyz²), but don¹t seem to be having
any success.  Is there another way I should try messing with the MTU?
