Is Bacula using setsockopt SO_KEEPALIVE's on every socket (it seems that it does in bnet.c)? If so, you probably just need to set this to more sensible values in /proc (assuming you are running Linux... I can't remember if you said or not). Try: echo 300 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time echo 60 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl echo 10 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_probes This will send the first keepalive after 5 minutes, and then every 60 seconds after that, and will drop the connection if no response is seen from 10 consecutive probes. The default is that the keepalive won't start for 2 hours (7200 seconds) after the connection has been idle. Not much good in your case. http://libkeepalive.sourceforge.net/docs/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO has some useful info about the way it all works. Does Bacula include any application level keepalives? There should be no need to do this if you've set /proc and setsockopt correctly, unless the respective daemons implement their own application level timeouts.
