Yes that sounds like a great idea.  Is there any effort in the WG to
do this in a standard way?

Well since a modified DPD will solve the problem as well (along with some
other problems, e.g., phase 2 rekeyed, responder reboots, phase 1
rekeyed due to normal expiration => no phase 2 on the responder),
and it's about the same in terms of the cost to interoperability, it
would seem best to direct the effort there until IKEv2 arrives.

Thanks,
