That is an interesting combination! Have you been in touch with Openlink  
at all? The mxODBC Zope DA is pretty resilient but will, of course, have  
problems if the driver it is talking to times out or freezes. How many  
connections have you got running? mxODBC should be able to open an  
additional connection if necessary and possible. I think it is essential  
to find out what is causing the queries to timeout.
