I think what you are trying to do is insane.  :)

Why not just reconnect?  TCP connections shouldn't survive 24 hours of
interruption in network connectivity.  In fact, I believe there are
standards that would be violated all over the place by allowing this
sort of thing.  Perhaps you should get the TCP RFC and read it?
