aborted connections wierdness...

Hi all,

I've configured many a server in my life, but have this odd issue lately:

080428 14:45:47 [Warning] Aborted connection 3185826 to db: 'xxxx' user:
'xxxxx' host: 'dbserverxxx' (Got an error reading communication packets)

This is pretty much stock mod_perl setup, even using Apache::DBI.

I still have two boxes giving me this problem, whereas I have been able
to get rid of this message on my other servers by changing my usage of
"connect_cached" to just "connect" (Apache::DBI should give me
connection caching). Problem went away on those servers just by doing
that, but remains on the other two, despite the switch.

What other settings, factors might contribute to this?

Thanks in advance to thoughts/opinions.

regards,

Patrick

Not yet - I haven't messed around with tcp dump much, but maybe now is
the time to start. What would I be looking at?

Have you tried doing a packet trace to see exactly what is going on at the
network level?
