 * > When HyperDB fails to connect to one database, it tries to connect to another
   > database that holds the same data.
 * The question is:
    Client came to my site, but my First MySQL Server is down. 
   HyperDB will try to connect to my First Server (user will see a delay) then it
   will connect to my Second MySQL Server.
 * Will HyperDB try to connect to First MySQL Server (which is down) when another
   one user will come?
 * **Is it possible to “say” for HyperDB that if he found that MySQL server is down
   a couple of times in a row, it should not try to connect to it for some time?**
