4 hours?!? On what basis does this particular individual offer this sage (or 
terragon) advice?
wattamaroon...
Let them reconnect. If hte application itself needed that much time, it can be 
built to send "heartbeats", like any other appli cation that expects a long 
idle time (EAS clients, ferinstance)

Asking to "leave a port permanently open" is asking for a DoS.

Subject: [isalist] Question and confesion.

OK, first the confession:
I’m migrating to TMG (well no for own decision but…..)

Now the question and is not related to that migration.
Our users needs to use an application that goes over internet on port 7778 (the 
number is not really important but..), the problem is, my users work on this 
application and then they decided to take a coffee in the kitchen living the 
app opened. Since is an internet connection, the connection just become 
disconnected for inactivity, then the user come back click on some option of 
the app and receive an error, this is because the application doesn’t have the 
capability to reconnect.
What the provider suggest is to increase the timeout for that particular port 
to 4 hours. My question is: Is there a way to do that on ISA (still 2006)?

Thanks
