Node.js MySQL Connection Issue

What's the problem?

• I'm using node-mysql to connect to mysql.
• I have a really hard time dealing with the server disconnects / wait_timeouts as mentioned here: https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql#server-disconnects
• I receive the error message: This socket has been ended by the other party every time after I'm trying to recreate the connection upon handling a PROTOCOL_CONNECTION_LOST error.

What I'm trying to do

// Connect Function
db.connect = function(callback){

    // Destory the Connection if there is already one
    if(db.connection) {
        console.log('[mysql]','connection destroy');
        db.connection.destroy();
        db.connection = null;

    }

    // Create the Connection
    db.connection = MySQL.createConnection(options);

    // Connect using the Connection
    db.connection.connect(function(error) {
        if(error){ 
            console.log('[mysql]', 'connect failed', error);
        } else {
            console.log('[mysql]', 'connection success');
            db.connection.database = options.database;
            callback(db.connection, error);
        }
    });

    // Listen on Connection Errors
    db.connection.on('error', function(error) {
        // Connection to the MySQL server is usually
        // lost due to either server restart, or a
        // connnection idle timeout (the wait_timeout server variable configures this)
        if(error.code === 'PROTOCOL_CONNECTION_LOST') { 
            console.log('[mysql]', 'PROTOCOL_CONNECTION_LOST')
            db.connect(callback);
        } else {                                    
            console.log('[mysql] Connection Error: ', error);               
        }
    });

    // Return Connection Instance
    return db.connection;
}

Additional Details

wait_timeout and interactive_timeout has to be set around 10 seconds in my.cnf to test the issue.

[mysqld]
wait_timeout = 10
interactive_timeout = 10
