hidden UDP timeout?

Hello all, I'm running an SNMP polling application on Solaris 9. I'm
finding that despite an application setting of 30 seconds for a timeout,
that if the polled node responds in > 20 seconds, the Solaris machine
returns a UDP port unreachable to the remote machine.

While I argue with my SNMP app vendor, does anyone know of any, possibly
hidden, kernel values that would govern how long the OS would allow a UDP
port to accept connections?

TIA,
Ed
