PuTTY - Automatic Reconnect After Internet Interruption?

Problem

After a small hiccup in internet connection, any open PuTTY windows throw up a message box saying there was a connection error. Is there a way to automate retry attempts? Or better yet, tell it to watch the status of the network and reconnect when internet access is reestablished? I know there's the "stackoverflow" solution of writing a program that invokes PuTTY using its command line interface using -load and -pw. But I'm looking for a "superuser" solution because that seems like less work. Should I look into Tunnelier instead? Background: I'm using an SSH tunnel with port forwarding to get remote access to a database on BlueHost.
