Hi, I am using kernel 2.4.32 with TPROXY 2.0.5. My application is a transparent proxy. My client opens a connection to the proxy and a transparent connection is opened to the server. Now my application closes the server connection and FIN is sent to the server. The server does not reply with FIN. (it is down). The connection goes to FIN_WAIT1 state (netstat). The client connection stays open and I try to reestablish the backend connection with the same client (source IP/port) parameters. The problem is that I can not reestablish the connection for about 60-80 seconds. It seems that the entry of the connection is not cleared so I can not reuse the connection. 1) Is there a way I can delete the entry as soon as the FIN is sent? 2) Is there a timeout I can change to shorten the time I need to wait before reusing the connection? Thanks in advance, E.R
