  Hmm... then something is wrong.  The server is deleting the request
before the client re-transmits.

  The client has to keep retransmitting.  The server doesn't wake up and
decide that the home server hasn't responded.  It is all driven by the
client.

server shouldn't be deleting the request, either.
