Though this then begs the question: if the connection comes back up what
happens in the client?
Depends on the state of the server. If problem was purely network related - TCP retransmit eventually
succeeds and client gets reply (with pause of course). Normal client operation resumes. If the server has crashed and the client hasn't received FIN segment (hardware crash for example), then the client is doomed for TCP retransmission retries.
If the client is still stuck then I'd say that is
possibly our problem to address - but if the client resumes then expecting
and resolving the issue at a higher level seems to make sensible policy.
