According to what I understand, this feature is for preventing DOS attacks
created by floods of *unsuccessful" connections. I think you might need
something else to achieve what you're looking for. Maybe someone can
enlighten us about anything that can be done on the Cisco equipment to
handle this.

Sorry

Yes, but I would like to timeout the connection even if the user DOES
establish the connection...I want an absolute timeout.

Thanks
