Hello,
we have a remote site which is connecting to a central site via PIX-to-PIX VPN (PIX version 6.3(3)). At the remote site there is a client which enstablishes a connection in the central site and this application MUST stay up forever (unless the application is shutted down from the client side on purpose).
The application is very delicated and difficult to be reprogrammed or troubleshooted.
Given this, I am wondering if it makes sense to set connection timeout in PIX to never expire.
Does it harm in some way?
Can this create other kind of problems?
Do we have to tune also the other timeouts: half-close, xlate, etc?
thanks a lot
Silvia
