What that sounds like is a network-level problem. In particular, if
there's a NAT-capable router between your client and server machines,
it's probably dropping the connection after a certain period of
inactivity. You may be able to fix this within Postgres by adjusting
the server's tcp_keepalives_idle setting. If the server is on a
platform that doesn't support changing the keepalive interval, the
only recourse is to fix the router.
