I'm not sure what plug-ins or products would be directly messing with the db_connect function. I'd say it sounds more like the MySQL server isn't allowing for enough connections or packet sizes are sometimes too big, maybe because of a plug-in or product.

It could be almost anything that calls out for anything. It's just a thought as his host seems to think there is nothing wrong on their end. And no matter now good the product/plug-in system is, there are bound to be plug-ins that are vieing for the title of who runs first or at all. I've seen some strange ones react differently than expected.
