If scaling was involved I would expect Puppetd to be slow, not to die. I have about 12 servers that hit a single puppetmasterd through the Internet, with a lot of puppet:// resources, and every 5 minutes. Anyway, I'll try that setup if it worked for you, especially as you mention that "dead puppet clients" disappeared.
