Can't connect to remote MySQL server on Ubuntu 10.04

Hi,

I have set up a High Availability MySQL database on two Linodes. I am able to SSH into one of them and add new users and tables. I am not able to connect from another LAMP stack Linode. Any advice?

I followed the instructions to set up a HA MySQL server on Ubuntu 10.04:

http://library.linode.com/linux-ha/high … untu-10.04">http://library.linode.com/linux-ha/highly-available-file-database-server-ubuntu-10.04

On each HA MySQL server, I altered /etc/mysql/my.cnf's bind-address to use the shared private IP between the two HA MySQL servers. Then I created a database and user at the private IP of my LAMP Linode with GRANT to the new database. I also have port 3306 available in my iptables and see no errors regarding this in my /var/log/syslog file and see nothing in the /var/log/mysql* logs

When I try to telnet from the LAMP Linode to the HA MySQL Linodes I get the following after a long delay:

root@li222-234:~# telnet 192.168.158.6 3306
Trying 192.168.158.6...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

With mysql I get the following after a long delay:

root@li222-234:~# mysql -u dbuser -h 192.168.158.6 -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.158.6' (110)

Thanks for any ideas of what to tweak.
