With the greatest respect then do you think you could elaborate on this
somewhat?
It's just that I can't think of very many good reasons to have a mySQL
database accept connections from any host that is live on the interweb.
It's just asking for trouble.
If you'd rather talk off-list then please feel free to contact me
directly, but I'd recommend you talk to someone about this a bit further
before you do it.
