 Replying to [comment:21 cohosh]:
 > Ah nice! Thanks. So I guess all there is to do here is decide whether we
 want to shorten this 30 second timeout to say 15 seconds or leave it. I
 don't think it matters too much.

 Agreed, I don't think it matters too much. My intuition says it's good to
 allow for at least one dropped or delayed keepalive ping before dropping a
 proxy.
