Another problem that has started to appear very recently is that sometimes s1 (or sql-s1-user at least) seems to disappear. I got the following error from a perl script on willow in the past 8 hours:
DBI connect('database=p_enwp10:host=sql-s1-user:mysql_read_default_file=/home/project/e/n/w/enwp10/.my.cnf','',...) failed: Unknown MySQL server host 'sql-s1-user' (0) at
database_routines.pl line 627
Couldn't connect to database: Unknown MySQL server host 'sql-s1-user' (0) at
database_routines.pl line 627.
