If a server has one interface to the Internet and another interface to a switch connecting to a few other servers, it seems TCP's MSL value might reasonably be set a lot lower on the private interface. I'm specifically thinking of a lot of short MySQL connections between the servers on the private LAN. The average number of MySQL client connections in TIME_WAIT will be proportional to MSL. And, while the circumstances under which a long MSL would help anything are unimaginable on the LAN, they are not on the Internet. So can net.inet.tcp.msl be set per interface? Tom
