[BioC] getBM weird error

[Dick Beyer]

I'm hoping someone might have a work-around for this getBM problem:

library(biomaRt)
mart <- useMart( "ensembl", dataset="mmusculus_gene_ensembl")
tmp <- getBM(attributes=c("uniprot_swissprot_accession","ipi"), filters="ipi", values="IPI00134704", mart=mart)

Error in getBM(attributes = c("uniprot_swissprot_accession", "ipi"), filters = "ipi",  :
   Query ERROR: caught BioMart::Exception::Database: Could not connect to mysql database ensembl_mart_68: DBI connect('database=ensembl_mart_68;host=bmdccdb.oicr.on.ca;port=3306','bm_web',...) failed: Host 'bmdcc1.oicr.on.ca' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' at /srv/biomart_server/biomart.org/biomart-perl/lib/BioMart/Configuration/DBLocation.pm line 98

Thanks much,
Dick
