I think a bit about that and I think a good way to specify exponential back is something like connect-retry 5 1800, which would mean "scale back up to 1800s" and maybe default that option to connect-retry 5 300. That also allows specifying larger connect-retry values without backoff. E.g. connect-retry 60 60 Arne
