peoples in my organization do online bidding, and if browsing interrupt/disconnect for any reason(e.g hardware failure) and restore within a 50 or 60 seconds.. their session terminate/disconnect, and they lost.
I think with any normal proxy server if the client terminates a session or times out the proxy, too, will terminate the session.
I suspect you are using the wrong terminology: what you need is not a highly available proxy service, i.e. a proxy suited to heavy load and with a very low downtime, rather a _persistent_ proxy. I'm not sure whether that's the exact industry term but I'm pretty convinced "highly available proxy" is not what you need.
If anyone here can tell you about a persistent proxy--that is, a proxy that keeps track of sessions and keeps them alive even if clients time out--then you'll be golden. I for one don't have knowledge of such software.
