I have two servers. One for Apache, one for sql. Previously I had the machines networked throught a router and I was able to see how much data goes between Apache and Mysql. The stuff was suprisingly 80mbit/s. -I run a website with only 12k uniques per day. -I dont store any images or large texts or files in Mysql tables. What could possibly cause such a huge traffic between the 2 machines? Help is greatly appriciated.
Have you check via netstat to see what's connecting? You need a server admin to find the root cause of the problem
