Hi Mike,

I am currently not aware of any way to accomplish this without
modifications to the core. You can change the timeout that Bro uses for
TCP connections (the time after which its expires a connection, if it does
not see any packets) by changing tcp_inactivity_timeout; depending on your
specific application, maybe that might be good enough.
