Failed backend does not recover

[Ben Clewett]

Dear Group,

I have the simplest possible 0.6.0 setup:

mysql-proxy \
--proxy-backend-addresses=foo:3306

Some time over the last few days I got:

network-mysqld.c.302: connect(foo:3306) failed: No route to host
network-mysqld-proxy.c.3713: connecting to backend (foo:3306) failed, marking it as down for ...

Not big problem, after network recovered the next query woke it up:

network-mysqld-proxy.c.3610: backend foo:3306 was down for more than 10 sec, waking it up

But I can't see how to set the parameter to tell Proxy try again, and fill in the missing ...? As well as this, I want to know more about this sleep time, and how it effects connections? How to tune the optimum HA ability? But I can't see much in the documentation...

Thanks in advance for any information,

Regards,

Ben
