[dhi-servers] Setting a client timeout

[Sue Schoch]

Hi all,

The current network server does not timeout client connections.  I am  
thinking of changing this to timeout clients after a certain period  
of time.  What I need to know is will this affect your application?   
Regardless, I may need to try this to prevent the repeated hanging of  
the server that has been noticed lately.  Below is the orb  
documentation explaining the timeout.  Any and all comments welcome.

The server actively closes a connection that has been idle for  
timeout seconds once that
connection has no more outstanding replies. Note that the application  
must use one of the
threaded server-side concurrency model if connection timeouts are  
desired. If this prop-
erty is set to zero, or not set at all, then the server does not  
close idle connections.
