MQ 5.3.10 Solaris

I have 2 queue managers, a primary and a backup. I am trying to write code to catch any exceptions that are caused by MQ being down (either the Server, the Listener or the machine).

If I shutdown the queue manager or the listener I get an exception when trying to connect via JMS, this is expected. Although if I shutdown the machine I get issues because the software will try to connect, and try again and again... 10 times it will retry before throwing a cannot connect exception. After the 10th times 450 seconds have gone by. I would like it to try and connect and if MQ is not there immediately throw back an exception. Is there a way to turn off this retry on the OS?

I notice that if I ssh to this machine while its down it takes quite a while before it says connection refused also.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
