It might be asymmetric; have you tried enabling keepalives from the client end, rather than the server? If using libpq, you can set keepalive parameters in the connection string: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-PARAMKEYWORDS If that doesn't fix it, you might want to get out Wireshark or a similar tool and verify that keepalive packets are actually getting sent. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
