Instead of using the default timeout of 3 minutes, this uses the timeout
specific to the protocol used for the connection. The 3 minute timeout
seems somewhat arbitrary (though I know it is used other places in the
ipvs code) and when failing over it would be much nicer to use one of
the configured timeout values.

Hi,

I'd like to revisit this patch which was originally posted
to netdev in May 2006.

Looking through the archives as far as I can see there was
some discussion as to whether it would be good to send timeout
information in the synchronisation packet, and some discussion
as to whether it would be good to make the timeout configurable
on the slave side, and then the ball was dropped.

It seems to me that regardless of whether or not the syncronisation
protocol should be expanded to include timeout information,
and wheather or not it should be configurable on the slave side,
this patch is a good idea as the default that it provides seems
to be much more sensible than the current arrangement.

Andreas Lundqvist provided me with an example where his
cluser has long often idle connections and that in this case
the short, 3 minute default timeout, really is quite useless.
