Thanks for the reply and the kindly reprimand
Info:
DB Server
Mysql 4.0.20
Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 - 2.6.8.1-12mdksmp
Application Servers
Red Hat Linux release 9
Tomcat 5.0.24
These application servers connect to the DB via Tomcat or by perl scripts
In my data directory I have a file called millhouse.unitnet.com.err
My main db is unitnet
It appears this is a good link that I received from GLEB
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/communication-errors.html
I am going down that path right now
Thanks
Randy

Not unless you can tell us which application is making those log entries and
which log file you just quoted..... What you just did is a lot like playing
a sound over the telphone and asking a painter what's wrong with your
plumbing. This may not even be a MySQL problem. Unless we know where those
entries are (which log) and where they come from(which app is making them),
we can have no clue what they mean.
Next time, please provide us with more context to your question, OK? We need
to know what OS you are using, what version of MySQL you are using, and many
details about what exactly you were doing that created the problem you are
trying to get us to help you with. If you can describe the problem even
more, please do.
