The request in TIME_WAIT is almost certainly not your problem. Run mysql
under strace, and see precisely where it is failing to connect to the
machine, then check your routing tables and firewall configuration.
Most likely, you've created a configuration where the machine in
question is unable to access 3306.
You can also telnet 10.6.0.3 3306; (or use nc) from the afflicted
machine to see if it even connects to mysql at all.
