Crigey, I guess we are going to have to take a look at whats going on. The new 
website thats there relies on mysql. We had a huge traffic surge in the last 
few days. Im going to put my money on mysql. im seeing alot of out of memory 
errors with mysql and then write backs happening. I might have to look at the 
cms and re-evaluate the one we are using for the time being. Thanks again 
scott I relay this info.
