mogile connectivity problems?

Track the 'stats' command from the interface... It'll list some useful 
information.

Also sit around with !watch open to see if your query workers are dying 
for some reason.

Check lsof (or just ls -l /proc/[pid]/fd | wc -l) to see how many fd's 
your trackers are using, compared to the default limit of 1024.

Finally, write a small script that'll connect, run some basic get_paths 
or something, and disconnect every few seconds. Run one on localhost and 
one remotely to see if you can reproduce the issue and if it happens on 
localhost as well.
