My worry is just that people running widely-connected servers will see the wording "temporary network outages" and "unexpectedly terminated TCP connections", thinking that disabling keepalives is best. I guess my complaint is that no actual numbers are given; one could reasonably guess that temporary was 30 seconds, and assume that keepalives reset connections all over the place, which really isn't the case. I'm not sure how to reword it to be more accurate, however. Robert? :) Mike "Silby" Silbersack To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
