We are running the standard server not virtual so it might be a difference
worth considering. However, I must admit that I have no idea if my app that
they use with FB is ever idle for an hour on any machine there. They are
pretty tight when it comes to working. :)

Have you tried just using a ping request to the server instead of any
databse related routine for your keepalive pattern? That would rule out FB
and any FB related components if a simple ping also eliminates the problem.
