This function is for connecting to a pair of MySQL fail over servers. It tries to connect to the first availiable server in the array list of $mysql_servers and so on. The main use for this function is for MySQL servers in a two way replication setup. The client can read from any of the servers using the normal mysql_connect function but for writing mysql_rep_connect is safer in that it only addresses one server at a time, thus preventing data conflict. Add set-variable = max_connect_errors=2147483647 to avoid problems.
