I have setup a Master/Slave replicatio in two different servers with the exact same charachterisits. The MySQL version is 5.5 and the Slave connects to the Master through a VPN connection.

I have confiemd the replicatino is working, when I create a new database on the Master I can see the database exist in Slave. The problem is when I was doing some failure scenarios and shutdown the VPN, the replicaotin status on the Master didn’t show any errors :

mysql> show slave status;

"""

As fars as I know if the Slave_IO_Running and Slave_SQL_Running is Yes this is an indication that the replication is working but this is not possible as there is no network connectivity between servers..

If I restart mysql in the slave then I will see a connection error and the replication status will be accurate, If I re-enable VPN without restarting the mysql on Slave it seems the replication will continue to work as normal if I create a new data base.

Can some one help ?
