Description:
Hello,

 I some environments (like a master to master replication setup) it would be nice to have this feature:

 - when a server starts, it doesn't open the tcp_port until its "Seconds_behing_master" is < N,

 - If this feature is difficult to implement, maybe it's useful to add an option very similar to --port-open-timeout; the only difference needed is that the server must not try to open the port the first time (only it'd try n seconds after the engine is started).

  Thanks a lot,

       Daniel Caballero

Thank you for the reasonable feature request.

Currently you can add and option --slave-skip-start to your configuration file, then start SQL thread only, watch when if catches up IO thread and only then start IO thread.
