This sounds like a firewall problem. If there's a firewall box between
you and the database server, and the firewall does address translation
(NAT), then it probably has a timeout after which it will drop the
translation info for an idle connection. Ten minutes sounds
unreasonably short though :-(. You should be able to adjust that
timeout somewhere in the firewall's settings ... if not, get a new
firewall.
