I'm about to start running a server which needs to be up 24/7... perhaps some
form of a keep-alive could be implemeted at the same time the timeout
feature is...

One idea is to allow the user to specify an IP to ping every so often (user
spec'd) with a random size packet (or also user spec'd?) 

Of course ping -i 300 123.456.789.012 works too ;-)
