connection timeout, after few minutes of idle

[badoet]

i keep getting these errors using the golang mysql driver
[MySQL] packets.go:32: read tcp :3306: connection timed out
[MySQL] packets.go:118: write tcp :3306: broken pipe

i have set the wait_time and the interactive_timeout of my mysql server to 72,000 (20 hours) but i keep getting this time out error after the server idle for a few minutes.

help?
