close inactive client connection

<div id="_htmlarea_default_style_" style="font:10pt arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><div id="result_box" dir="ltr">Hello,

<br>
<br> I am developing a system, using the ZeosLib, which maintains a permanent connection to the database.

<br>
<br> When the client loses the connection, the server does
not recognize this and keeps the connection as if it were active. When
the client attempts to reconnect, the server creates a new connection
and the previous remains active. <br>
<br> This has caused an excessive increase in the number of active connections and hampered the use of the system.

<br>
<br> Have any way or setting to make postgres close idle connections?</div><br>
