It is correct that unix sockets in monit only support the AF_UNIX
protocol family. 

I didn't even know that you could use AF_INET on a Unix socket!? On my
system, running 'man (7) unix' state that the protocol family always
is AF_UNIX (or the Posix name, AF_LOCAL). Are you sure that mysql are
using AF_INET on a unix domain socket and not a TCP socket with
AF_INET?

Apropos speaking about mysql, anyone know the protocol handshake? It
would be nice to have a monit protocol test for mysql. I usually use
the tcpmon[1] utility from the Jakarta Axis project to sniff out TCP
based protocols but I do not use mysql (I'm a sybase man myself).
