What is the problem having connections in CLOSE_WAIT anyways? The

should clean that out after some time (like 120s or some such), no?
The issue is that your re-use of ports taking that long.
That could become a bottleneck very busy sites.

You mean from e.g. a large proxy server? You'd have to have ~30k-45k 
connections (depending on configs) from a client single IP, to run into that 
problem.
