Hi ,
We have very similiar problem.
Try to set-up mysql timeout per connection like this :
wait_timeout=100 ( or other suitble time for you )
interactive_timeout=100 ( or other suitble time for you )

in my.cnf

If a connection is idle more than 100 seconds mysql will kill a 
connection. Next time apache will connect again do the job .. after 100 
seconds idle ... realize a connection.
