Yeah, I've been bitten by this one before too... in one of the background processes I run. Now that background process bites ActiveRecord every hour to keep it alive.
I've never had any trouble with activerecord losing it's connection in the mongrel processes, but it sounds like it's possible. Maybe I should have that background process contact each of the mongrels. Or better yet, maybe I should look into how hard it would be to get ActiveRecord to restore the connection.
