I have a Bacula 3.0.2 server (director and SD) with 18 backup clients
(FDs), all but two of them in the same LAN. The two remaining ones are
reached via VPN connections which seem to have the timeout problem
(not honouring the keepalive setting) which according to the FAQ may be
cured by setting a Heartbeat Interval.

In the 3.x manual, the Heartbeat Interval directive is only listed as
applicable to the Director and Storage resources. The descriptive text
for the Director resource seems to indicate that it might be applicable
to the Client resource, too, though, and indeed my director does not
complain about seeing it there, but it doesn't seem to have the desired
effect, either. That is, I added "Heartbeat Interval = 120 s" to the
Client resource of one of the clients experiencing the connection drops,
ran the bconsole "reload" command which didn't complain, and then ran a
test job which, as before, terminated with a "Connection reset by peer"
error exactly two hours after it was started.

Questions:
- - Is specifying the Heartbeat Interval directive within a Client
  resource supposed to work?
- - Is a "reload" from bconsole sufficient to activate it, or must
  the director be restarted to see its effect?

Thanks,
Tilman
