I think I found out what's causing the connection dropping - it's not
really the firewall, it's the dynamic NAT routing. Our admin doesn't
want to set up static NAT routing for the developers though if he can
help it - he says that this should be reserved for servers.
As an easy solution to the problem, I open up an SSH-terminal to the
PostgreSQL-server and keep the top-process running (which I do mostly
anyway); as long as there's just any traffic going on, the connection is
kept alive - I think even pinging the server should be sufficient.

I am not sure of your exact situation, but I am using a windows
client withputty setting up an SSH tunnel to get through thefirewall, one of the options on putty allows you to set a
keep
alive messageevery XX seconds. I have kept this connectionup for days without
