Thank you all for the help.

I found that the udp reply packet is short of 37 bytes from 32Kb
taking into account the IP and UPD encapsulation and I can't seem to
find what the max size of udp packet on irix6.5 -- anyone knows? All I
can gather from systune (kernel tunable utilities on irix) is
udp_sendspace = 61440 (0xf000) 60Kb

Anyways, I modified the dumptypes to use exclude list on the client
and now I'm below the udp request from last night is ~27Kb and I see
no timeouts but my exclude fails :( 
Ah, well... I'll post another question when I'm sure that I haven't
made (yet) another stupid mistake...

regards,
jf
