the server dosen't request the retransmit when a packet dies of TTL, the client does; because he gets an ICMP message from the HOP the discarded the packet informing him the the packet was discarded.
Hm, okay, I stumbled over the term "request" since the _receiving_ party (be it server or client) can't request a retransmit from the _sender_ since he doesn't know that a packet was sent to him that got discarded. But I guess we mean the same thing, so please excuse the confusion. :)
would probably take longer to retransmit the lost packet (with, by then, outdated information) then to just leave it lost
