Dirk,

I have used mysql output directly from snort, as well as barnyard.  As you
mentioned, snort will sometimes lose connectivity to the mysql DB.  This doesn't
just happen during a network outage either.  There's a bunch of ways you could
script a solution for this.  You could have a cron entry which runs every N
minutes and does a netstat to make sure the connection to the SQL server is
present, if not, it kills and restarts the snort process.  Same thing happens
with barnyard.

Chuck
