What's timing out, MLD or the remote server? I haven't had that experience.

Perhaps the cluster node I use doesn't have the timeout function 
implemented. He only has half a dozen or so radio users, and several 
hundred members connecting via the Internet and his Internet 
connection to his ISP is via fiber; maybe he doesn't feel it's 
necessary.

Well, it shouldn't. I guess it comes from my previous experience 
working for an ISP; I'm really paranoid about conservation of 
bandwidth...:-)
