 ** Don't do that for mysql ! **

Mysql has an basic intrusion/weird-client prevention system that
blacklists hosts that connect it without using the mysql protocol. So
your test will keep green for a few cycles, then turn red. And then you
have to log into mysql and do a "flush hosts". [got bitten once]
