login problem

[Eric Weaver]

I have a master/slave replication pair.

I have set up mysql-proxy on a client machine, with --proxy-backend-addresses=one:3360,the-other:3360 (ip addresses).

The proxy starts up OK, listens on the configured port (3307), and answers.

When I do mysql -h localhost -P 3307 known-good-user -p=known-password , it fails with:


ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'known-good-user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

... and it's pretty much instant about it.


When I run mysql straight at either actual host, it succeeds fine but takes a little while to log in (I suspect due to some stupid reverse-dns issue).


Anybody have a clue stick to hit me with on this one? Thanks.
