Subject: hundreds of sockets stuck in TIME_WAIT

I noticed on a very high traffic'd webserver, I have just over 4000 sockets
stuck in the TIME_WAIT state.  Ideally, I want to "bend" the RFC a bit and
close the descriptor before it hits that state, or, ignore the 2MSL wait
when it enters that state.  

I take it there is no sysctl switch to trigger this, so, am I going 
kernel diving?
