erm, for what purpose exactly? I mean, this is supposed to be some sort of 'security' tactic and you're going to let the CLIENT tell you when it thinks it's waited long enough? Point taken about the releasing the IP BUT this is generally more involved no? It WILL block an office building but what do you want, secure?
