Thanks for your comment. I hate to be disagreeable, but the app and postgres are running on the same computer. The app is a java program using jdbc to issue postgres commands.

Would you please let me know what > you know? Most likely what is happening is that you have a firewall between your app and your db server that is closing idle connections after x minutes. Could be other things, like crashing clients, etc... Hard to say without more evidence.
