Hi,

We are using the tproxy patch for Linux 2.6.24 (Ubuntu 8.0.4).   When placing outgoing connections, we use the original socket address (4-tuple)  in the bind and set SO_REUSEADDR on the socket.   The sequence we are having difficulty with is:

· Client connects to transparent proxy

· Transparent proxy connects to remote server

· Normal data transfer…

· Remote server closes the connection (but client connection is maintained)

· Transparent proxy attempts to connect again to remote server using the original 4-tuple (again)

o Bind succeeds

o Connect fails with EADDRNOTAVAIL

The original socket is probably in TIME_WAIT at this point.   I thought the SO_REUSEADDR would take care of the problem.  What am I missing here?  

Thanks.
