Yup. I'm assuming that if you're running a firewall that
is this busy, you have enough clues to decide for yourself
how you want to tune it.
In that case, I'd tell anyone who complains about dropped
connections to adjust the TCP keepalive timers on their
machine (although I don't know how you'd do it on Windows).
Later,
Kenn
