[Pdns-users] Communicator thread stays in connect state?

If there are no requests within 60 secs, the connection gets terminated by the 
mysql libray. The backend does notice this as soon as it tries to send a 
query because this fails (the connection is closed). PowerDNS then tries to 
reinstanciate the backend but the current DNS request will return a termorary 
failure.

I think the connection should never timeout at all because PowerDNS depends on 
the estabished connections to the database server.
