Description:
MySQL- proxy does not return any error if server is stopped ( server for which proxy is configured)

How to repeat:
1. Set up a Proxy like this,

C:\mysql_proxy\proxy>mysql-proxy.exe --proxy-address=localhost:4042 --proxy-back
end-addresses=localhost:3305

Now, Using MySQL Command line utility connect,

2. C:\MySQL\bin>mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -proot -P4042

Connects Successfully.

3. Now Stop the MySQL server 

4. Try the (2) step again, 

It will not return any error and continues to wait for response.

Suggested fix:
I think here , 
Error 2003 is required.

And wait time-out should not be more than 2 minutes.

Thank you for the report.

Please clarify what you do to repeat the problem:

> 2. C:\MySQL\bin>mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -proot -P4042
> Connects Successfully.
...
> 4. Try the (2) step again, 
> It will not return any error and continues to wait for response.

Do you disconnect client connected in step 2 before reconnect and start new connection?

-- Yes i disconnected a client and then started a new connection after Stopping the MySQL server.

FYI: It can be reproducible if server is stopped and you are connecting using proxy to it.
