 * Hi
 * I am running apc+nginx+wpmu+W3
 * W3, since its latest update with nginx support, is causing intermittent database
   connection issues.
 * wordpress itself with give the error that it cannot connect to the database.
 * refresh the page and then it works.
 * mostly it is when you are in the backend.
 * Any ideas?
