I would like to request a shorter or dynamic backoff time for client to AMS connections. Now when the client is unable to connect to the AMS server, it backs off for 24 hours. Almost all systems using WLAN try to connect to some kind of BOINC server (AMS, projects) before the WLAN connection is set up. Some hosts almost never get a change to connect to the AMS, making them unmanageable.
I have three possible solutions: 1: set the backoff time to 1 or 2 hours 2: set the backoff time to a dynamic time between 1 and 12 hours 3: the client also checks to see if the internet connection works by checking Google. When this fails, it knows inet is down. When it finds it has a working connection, try a connection to the AMS immediately.
