  We consider a system consisting of a pair of D3 branes intersecting each
other along a line such that half of the 16 supersymmetries are preserved. We
then study the existence of magnetic monopole solutions corresponding to a
D1-brane suspended between these D3 branes. We consider this problem in the
zero slope limit where the tilt of the D3-branes is encoded in the uniform
gradient of the adjoint scalar field. Such a system is closely related to the
non-abelian flux background considered originally by van Baal. We provide three
arguments supporting the existence of a single magnetic monopole solution. We
also comment on the relation between our construction and a recent work by
Mintun, Polchinski, and Sun.
