The default synchronization interval of 1000 milliseconds is too high for a
heavily loaded director. Collecting the connection information from one second
and then sending it out in a burst will overflow the socket buffer and lead to
synchronization information being dropped. Make the interval controllable by a
sysctl variable so that users can tune it.
