RE: Dropped connections

Thank you Stephan, aYo, Thomas and Dario for the advice... 

an update...
I do have a 'stay alive' ping (tried varying intervals from 1 min to 1
sec) that doesn't seem to be keeping the connection alive in this case.

I am running on linux, but haven't experienced this problem with any of
my other apps (this app has more streams than my others). The ping has
always taken care of the issue.

This same issue is happening with this app on two different hosting
providers. (both linux).

At this point I'm trying to add the 'handler' rather than try to figure
out potential cause(s)... but I'm having trouble getting the feed to
republish.

I am successfully reconnecting on disconnect, but I'm getting a "Failed
to publish stream" message when republishing.

I've tried clearing the stream both serverside and clientside before
republishing, thinking that the server didn't do so on disconnect, but
nothing seems to work.

Here is my serverside code, in application.onDisconnect :
- - - - -
s = Stream.get("feedone");
if (s){
s.onStatus = function(info)
{
if(info.code == "NetStream.Clear.Success")
{
trace("feedone Stream cleared successfully.");
//return("success");
}
if(info.code == "NetStream.Clear.Failed")
{
trace("Failed to clear feedone stream.");
//return("failure");
}
}
}
s.clear();
- - - - -
I'm getting a successful trace.

And in my clientside connection script, I have this code, before
resestablishing the netstream:
- - - - -
guest1Stream_ns.close();
- - - - -

Any idea what I might be missing here?

(I've scoured the archives and docs for hints, with no luck.
Troubleshooting this is killing me, as it takes 5 min-1 hr for one of
my clients to disconnect!)

Thanks again for the generous assistance,
