If I understand correctly, this patch shortens the client-to-server  
ping interval to one minute so that the connection stays active as  
seen by the firewall. I don't quite understand the server side  
changes, though. In any case, having the ability to run AFS clients  
on cluster nodes inside their private network to access foreign cells  
is very much desirable.

Ciao,
                     Roland
