It's been some time since I've dealt with that sort of problem, but My
recollection is that even keepalives won't really work, because they
occur only every hour or two.
What is needed is as described earlier: allow multiple connection attempts,
if you're busy listening for traffic and another connection attempt occurs,
especially if it's from the same IP address (but this isn't always the
right way, as some senders use a rotating pool of addresses), then accept
the new one and close the old one.
I suppose this kludge would work too: try sending something on that port,
and if the connection is broken, it'll error. then you could open a new
one.
