Inline config won't pass DHCP

Hello all,

I have been trying  figure this out for a while now. Running 2.9.7.2
inline. If my modem is power cycled, the DHCP info (discover, offer,
request, ack) will not pass through snort. No rules are fired. However, if
I connect the modem directly to the router bypassing snort until the DHCP
lease is established and then physically reconnect snort back inline,
traffic flows fine. I can even then do a DHCP release and renew with snort
inline and it works, so I know snort is passing that UDP traffic fine.

My first though was to increase the UDP timeout from the default 30,
because of the modem power-up time: preprocessor stream5_udp: timeout 180

After changing, the logs show:

Sun May  8 18:30:19 2016 daemon.notice snort[8460]:     UDP cache pruning
timeout: 30 seconds
Sun May  8 18:30:19 2016 daemon.notice snort[8460]:     UDP cache nominal
timeout: 180 seconds

I haven't found anywhere is change "UDP cache pruning timeout". Can this be
changed or am I going completely in the wrong direction?

Any help appreciated...
Glenn
