Dave,
We do something similar here.
Except that when we re-transmit the head of the queue (or any
subsequent part) we make the packet size 200 bytes of TCP data.
Since a large part of our troubles arise from missing IP
fragments.
The point to note is that each site may have to think about its own
situation and problems, then apply its own (unique) solution to this
problem.
