generating KEEPALIVE packets

Subject: generating KEEPALIVE packets

Is there any way to tell the OS X TCP stack to send a keepalive packet on demand? My goal is to keep a NAT device from timing out an apparently idle TCP connection without sending any in-band traffic. Setting the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option does not help because its timeout (2 hours) is longer than the timeout used by the NAT device (5 minutes).

Thanks,
