Re: Patch to add a socketTimeout property.

They do. We usually have different connection pools for normal (short
running) and long queries. Since almost all are short running, this
has worked well for us. I actually haven't tried setting keepalive in
this situation. so I can't say much, but the vpn solutions we have
used have at times gotten into some pretty wierd states and sotimeouts
could stop our pools from going crazy.
