> We have Sun Servers running applications and talking through the cisco
pix firewall, and from time to time the session breaks. I can from the
solaris side set the keepalive interval shorter and keep the connection but
what can I do about the "SESSION timeout"? :( I was told that connections
should not be kept alive longer than this... though hard to beleive if this
is true.

Lookup the 'timeout' command in the PIX users/reference guide and adjust it 
to your needs if warranted. If I recall correctly, I think TCP defaults to 
a 3 hour idle timeout.
