Can someone tell me what we are going to do about firewalls that impose
their own rules outside of the control of the DBA?

I know that keepalive *should* work, however I also know that regardless
of keepalive I often have to restart sessions etc. There are
environments that are outside the control of the user.

Perhaps this has already been solved and I don't know about it. Does the
master<->slave relationship have a built in ping mechanism that is
outside of the TCP protocol?
