Matt, According to the TCP SERVER_CLOSED wiki entry then "The SERVER_CLOSED event also fires for UDP traffic when the Idle Timeout for the UDP profile is reached" Whilst this doesn't specifcally call out TCP then can we assume the same sympton? Also, according to the following SOL [sol9812](http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/9000/800/sol9812.html) the BIG-IP sends a TCP-RST to both client and server when the timeout is reached. So SERVER_CLOSED might work here.
