Re: Blocking connection and timeout problem

Erm, no, it is a Solaris box.
And as I could experience, there are rather long timeouts in solaris' tcp
implementation.

Thanks anyway.

What about Postgres. Wouldn't it be better to have postgres sending keep
alive or heart beat packages during that time?

|Assuming you are on a linux box (Not sure if it's stated in your mail,

|
|/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
|
|to a lower value. That should do the trick :-)

|Hope it helps.
