I couldn't find anything definitive in the kernel source, but looking through it did remind me of the TCP_KEEPIDLE, TCP_KEEPINTVL, and TCP_KEEPCNT ioctl's, which allow per-socket tuning of the parameters for which the defaults are defined in /proc/sys/net/ipv4. For this to be useful in any way to bacula there would have to be a global config option to override this, and to be more useful you'd have to be able to set these options per client and/or sd. And to be ideally useful you'd need to define networks, define the tuning required between each pair of networks, and then allocate the sd, fd, and dir to a network. Sounds like a lot of work for not a lot of gain, although would also allow you to add other tuning parameters like tcp window, cork, and buffering, which could make a real difference when using bacula over high speed high latency links, and could also be part of item 37 (Cause daemons to use a specific IP address to source communications).
