Description

Hi there,

I'm using pool connections of 100 connections.
Once in awhile I'm getting the following error:

doSql pool.getConnection failed with error:Error: Host 'xxxxx' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

Any idea on how to fix this?

Best,
Guy
