Well, not exactly an average, since our aim is not to have 50% of our
connections fail, but an "estimate" of some kind.
I was thinking something far more crude and heuristic:
if (recycle fails)
t_est = max(1 second, this connections idle - .5 sec)
else
t_est *= (1 + 1e-6)
The point here is that the actual timeout as implemented by servers is
not precise and not even constant, many servers trim idle connections
on other criteria than idle time (anti-DoS)
At the very least, we should run some real-life tests to see how well
something like the above works...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
