[Xastir] Xastir forgetting DNS???

[Tom Robson]

Have similar disconnections once in a while so I talked to the fellow from 
aprswest and he mentioned it was probably the local connection to the users 
which was being dropped. (which was the situation in my case).  As I remember 
he said something to the effect that the server tries for about 20 seconds to 
maintain connection and if it disappears then the client has to try and 
connect again.  Xastir must do this as the connection is reestablished.
