Your masquerading firewall is dropping the redirection when there is no
traffic (probably about every 3 minutes). If the Coda server then tries
to break a callback or do a keepalive probe for the client the packets
don't get forwarded and the server marks the client as dead and drops
any established callback promises.

Then when the client tries to perform any operation, the server sends
back an error that forces the client to disconnect, reconnect and
revalidate it's cache state (i.e. re-establish callbacks).

Set serverprobe=150 in the client's /etc/coda/venus.conf might fix this.
