@leozc: Please format the var_dump output with monospace formatting (three ` characters on a line before and after will do it). It's a bit hard to read in the current state.

Re:jmlkola.

@leozc: The error you're seeing is because the connection string hostname doesn't match what the servers themselves identify as. Take a look at mongo_connection_ismaster and look for the retval = 3 case.

Very nice hint! It ends up it is a domain name alias problem, let me investigate further...
