That sounds like a problem in your network; probably some ill-configured firewall or
router that drops idle connections.

You can set "tcp_keepalives_idle" on the database server, then the setting is independent
of the client used.

I would say that a setting of 5 seconds is way too low.  Set it to 600 or so, that would
be 10 minutes.
