So it should be able to handle a failover from one link to the other, but it's certainly better to bind it to the more reliable transport. I believe you can somehow configure the frequency of ping messages so that you network doesn't believe the connection goes idle, plus it will attempt a reconnect if the network did indeed cancel the connection.
If you wanted to study this further, you could look into the slave's twisted log file.
I should have mentioned that I'd already peeked into the log and that's why I posted. There was something in there about it sending application-level keepalives (every 600 seconds, IIRC), which looked good; but it wasn't sufficient, as seen. After I switched it to the other connection, I didn't see any more problems (and it's completed a few builds, though 2.7 seems to be having trouble in the tests - not peculiar to this bot though).
