Susan Hinrichs closed TS-1908.
------------------------------
       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 5.2.0)

This would be very hard to defer the client side accept before verifying that the connection to the OS will work.  At this point not seen as a sufficiently critical use case.

> ATS shouldn't accept connections whose destination host/port is down while working in transparent mode.
> Currently hosts in a network with a transparent ATS intercepting all to-port-80 TCP connection will see TCP port 80 of all IP addresses as open and accepting connections, while most of them are in fact closed. This is against "transparency" of the transparent web cache.
