How can I configure my network adapter to automatically reconnect in event of an error?

Issue

We encountered an error with our network connector where it shut itself down due to inactivity:

fusemq.log.4:2012-12-04 03:19:31,698 | INFO  | $Worker@79a62860 | DemandForwardingBridgeSupport    | rk.DemandForwardingBridgeSupport

shutdown due to a local error: org.apache.activemq.transport.InactivityIOException: Channel was inactive for too (>30000) long: tcp://X.X.X.X:33154

After this error was encountered, our network connector stopped.
