Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.  I have FreeBSD 6.1 and
have read about the pcap non blocking thing.  Not sure if it still
applies in 6.x but I am NOT running in non blocking mode.

So, when I try to connect to tcp 3000 it hangs - sometimes...  I run
netstat -a and see dozens of connections from my PC in TIME_WAIT status.
  On initial connection attempts there are maybe (3) dozen TIME_WAIT
connections, while after page refreshes there's maybe (1) dozen.  Also
noticed they are on new ports.  I haven't sniffed this yet, but appears
it's not only not reusing the existing tcp connection - it's opening and
closing multiple connections per page?  I can easily get 30+ connections
in TIME_WAIT by refreshing a page over and over.

So, isn't the underlying tcp connection supposed to be reused as long
as it's "active"?  Seems way to expensive to startup and tear down a tcp
connection for every refresh?  Is there an http or tcp keep alive I'm
missing somewhere?
