Poul-Henning Kamp once stated:

=>=+tcp_keepalive="YES"		# Kill dead TCP connections (or NO).
=>
=>Mmm, "probably dead TCP connections"?
=
=After 8 attempts at reaching other end:  "Dead TCP connections".

Perhaps "very  probably dead"? I'm  just trying to prevent  questions in
users' minds:  "why the heck  could anyone want to  set this to  NO"? If
there is a hint some of this connections _may_ really be alive... May be
a pointer  to a more detailed  explanation should go into  the rc.conf's
comment?
