If inn2 is unable to contact a peer to forward a feed, how many times does inn2 retry?
How long does INN wait between successive retries?
And how long until inn2 gives up trying to forward articles to the disconnected peer?
From innfeed.conf manpage:
initial-reconnect-time
This key requires a positive integer value and defaults to 30. It
defines how many seconds to first wait before retrying to reconnect
after a connection failure. If the next attempt fails too, then
the reconnect time is approximately doubled until the connection
succeeds, or max-reconnect-time is reached.
max-reconnect-time
This key requires an integer value and defaults to 3600. It
defines the maximum number of seconds to wait between attempt to
reconnect to a peer. The initial value for reconnection attempts
is defined by initial-reconnect-time, and it is doubled after each
failure, up to this value.
