automatically attempt reconnect?

Hello,

I've been trying vpnc and have noticed that work has been done on
"dead peer detection". I see that there was a bit of related
discussion on the list back in February. My question is: Is the
default behavior to shutdown vpnc completely which this happens, or
is there some "shutdown the connection, but then try to reconnect"
feature that I'm missing? FWIW, I see the --dpd-idle option in the
man page, but my problem is that vpnc just shuts down altogether.

My setup: vpnc 0.5.1 on Linux (kernel 2.6.24), connecting to a Cisco
3000 series concentrator.

Thanks for any pointers you can give.

Jared

I had started some work on this in January, but had to let it rest for
lack of time. Now I intend to pick it up again. You might be interested
in reading on the previous thread, including a patch and description of
memory leak problems. I'll try to continue that same thread.
