Hi
Thanks for the netdev Cc, I didn't know where to write to the "network guys".
By the way thanks for replying. It's hard to explain and describe a problem when you know people will ask you hundreds of questions related to application-level problems, or not reply because web/mysql problems are so common and generally not related to any kernel issue.

I used to use TCP offloading one time, and by the way never had a problem with it. Besides just to be sure, I have been able to reproduce the problem without any offload engine enabled (= not compiled into the kernel, mainly because it seems to hang the kernel at boot in 2.6.24.3). So I assume that is not the problem
I use wireshark to analyse my pcap files and it says the checksum is correct on all packets.

I have the conntrack on both the client and server, and unfortunately can't disable it now on the client (I use it only for the REDIRECT target on a precise destination address and port, not MySQL related), however I will test today and disable it on the server, after I get some sleep (although I think the issue is on the client).
