It seems it is the normal tcp timeout behaviour you are experiencing, and it does not have anything to do with "keepalive". A better approach would be to configure the health monitor to poll more frequently and with shorter timeout value. The benefits of this apply to new connections; for when a backend server dies, existing client tcp connections will have to go through a proper tear-down process, which takes time.
