Many servers are now incorporating internal metrics, and the server can decide how long to hold open a connection based on some (hopefully correct) internal measurement. Even a guess of 5 or 10 seconds seems reasonable for most sensible cases. I imagine that all servers will allow these timings to be specified in a configuration file.
