I get this error sent to my email about 20 times a day, its NOT always template.php, sometimes its just my forums, certain threads, vbshout and others.

Your web server is losing contact with your mysql server.

Are they on the same box ? if so then you should use localhost, not the url of the site. If they are on different boxes you would be better using the ip address, no dns lookup is needed then.
