Socket timeout

[ronhanic]

I am using QXmppClient and connecting to a server that fails over.
when i am connected to the first server and it fails it fails over to server 2 and i take the existing QXmppClient instance and log it into the 2nd server.
I then turn back on the 1st server and fail the second server and so the same reconnect. At this point QXmppClient fails with a socket timeout.
Question: is there any way to shorten the socket timeout. or does anyone have a suggestion on how to handle this situation
Thanks
