I think what you need, if you can't fix the network, is to turn on
keepalives on the socket for the connection. If you are running over
ssh, adding -o TCPKeepAlive to the ssh command line should do it. If
you are using rsyncd at the other end you'd probably have to modify the
perl code that talks directly to it.
