Hi,

Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the slow reply :-/

This issue is related to how the rrdcached client library works. It only
supports a single connection and caches that in a global variable.
collectd calls rrdc_connect on each write but the function will simple
return success if it succeeded previously.

I think what we'll have to do is
(a) in collectd, close the connection on error and, thus, trigger an
    actual reconnect; possibly use exponential back-off
(b) improve the RRDtool API ;-)

Cheers,
Sebastian
