I have a dedicated server that I wanted to look at moving to cloud based computing, so I hopped on over to rackspace and setup a cloud with 2gb of ram. I then setup mysql and had it replicate my dedicated server so I could keep the data updated and start building the site on a couple cloud servers.

However once the database was live in the cloud, and the php scripts on the dedicated server attempted to connect to the remote cloud server, the "page load time" is slow or times out.

From mysql commandline its all good, really fast, uptime is great. Nothing out of the norm, and I can not foresee the data being sent over to the other host is taking that long.

Any ideas, or how I can get a log to give me an idea?
