[php-maint] Bug#576412: Bug#576412: Bug#576412: Bug#576412: php5: Please add MySQL native driver "mysqlnd" support for PHP 5.3.x

[Alexander Schories]

Hi Raphael,

a better solution for webclusters is a separate network (e.g. vpn),  
esp. because SSL still consumes performance (even with modern cpu  
instructions) when used at large scale web systems with lots of mysql  
query traffic.

;-)

Cheers

Alexander
