With only a slight load on apache (few hundred processes) there are over 100 queries a second on the db box that is doing only member authentication. Is this common with mod auth mysql, it seems as tho the sessions aren't sticking and users are being authenticated against the db for each request to the page. Any thoughts?

Maybe someone is trying a brute force attack.

that is definitly going on all the time, however i can see the logs and proxy pass should be taking care of those. the attempts are no where near 100 tries a second
also something interesting is that the number of selects is really low compared to the number of change db queries, which is weird since there is only one db for this authentication scheme.
