No, and yes.
However, we do enable TCP KEEPALIVE mode on TCP connections. So if
network connectivity to the client is lost, the kernel will eventually
time out and close the connection. The length of the keepalive timeout
is kernel-dependent but should be an hour or more in RFC-compliant
implementations...
