That's fine.  The 'tone' of your e-mail led me to believe I wasn't providing
something obvious, which I could believe.

Multiple 'simultaneous' connections (through forking) is a possibility.  I
believe it was 4 child processes when this occurred the last time, but I'm not
100% sure.

Not a problem.  Thankfully I have full control on this box, not the Solaris side
though.  And the box is dedicated to this database, so there shouldnb't be a ton
of extra traffic either.  Just the normal mis-configured network client
broadcast jabber ;-)  I should be able to figure out tcpdump enough to filter
out all traffic except that between the two servers.

Cheers,
Rob
