Until you try and do something the DB component will not realise that 
anything has gone wrong.  You would have to do something to the connection, 
e.g. have a query running every few minutes with select cast('now' as Date) 
from rdb$database.  You would then get an exception when the connection went 
down and you could disconnect and reconnect.

Anyway - I would be concerned about not encrypting traffic over the 
internet.
