Also, you can address this from the client side by reducing the tcp
keepalive transmission intervals:

Under Linux, reduce it to 5 minutes:

echo 300 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time

'300' is the number of seconds.

I find this useful in all manner of situations where the OS times out
connections :)
