Hi Tom.  Some more testing.

Turned off firewalld, same issue.  Some notes:

I have one simple query that’s in my activity (currently active) that’s in there 5 times.  It should have closed very
quickly,yet there’s 5 instances idling.  I have two other queries, that should have operated quickly, then closed, but
theyare idling.   

tcp_keepalives* are around 3.

Any idea where to look now?

I’ve set my max_connections to 12 (4 cores * 3).
