Sorry this is an extremely old thread, but I finally got around to tracking down the problem.. Added these lines to postgres.conf and poof, problem gone.. tcp_keepalives_idle = 60 # TCP_KEEPIDLE, in seconds; tcp_keepalives_interval = 10 # TCP_KEEPINTVL, in seconds; tcp_keepalives_count = 5 # TCP_KEEPCNT; Hope this helps someone else!
