Oh man!<br />
skip-name-resolve did it big time. It is working so fast now!<br />
<br />
Are there any security issues I should be aware of by using this skip?

Not particularly - it just means that you will be storing ip addresses rather than domains; it should not make much of a difference - as if someone is spoofing ip's going to the dns would still return the same result regardless.

Hi,<br />
I have:<br />
PHP, IIS on Windows 2003 web edition on one machine.<br />
and on a different machine I have MYSQL.<br />
<br />
Other applications on different servers (not web servers) connect to the MYSQL machine with no problem - it is very fast to respond.<br />
Ever since I have upgraded my web server to windows 2003 web I am experiencing very slow connection between it and the MYSQL server.<br />
This happens with the thinest queries I run and with no users load on the web server.<br />
On a web request the web server is very fast to respond but it takes it more than 40 seconds to get anything from MYSQL.<br />
<br />
Please help.<br />
What should I check?<br />
Thanks!

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
