Nobody has ever reported anything like that, and since the connection management is the same for TCP as for domain sockets and the Windows code uses TCP, and from the point of view of the client socket, localhost and a remote host are handled identically...no, I don't really buy that. Something else is wrong in your environment.

Yes, and then it detects the failures and throws them out of the pool and establishes new ones.
