[stunnel-users] MySQL through stunnel - fails after many days

Hi,

I have a Nagios plugin using an stunnel connection to a MySQL server across the LAN for frequent queries, where each one opens a fresh connection. Checking ulimit on both ends shows "unlimited" (I've found old discussions about that being a possible factor). There's nothing I've found in the logs to show where it's going wrong. It's just that after days of running fine, suddenly the queries start failing to connect through. Restarting stunnel on both ends immediately resolves the problem. I suppose I can just restart stunnel on both ends once a day from cron and be okay. But I'd rather find a real fix, if anyone recognizes what this would be and can point me to one.

Thanks, Whit
