It seems that machine can't resolve abc.org (although I can). The format of your connect string is a little unorthodox, but it seems to work in general.
What does 'dig abc.org' return on this machine?
I wonder if "abc.org" was just an example and not the real domain
name. Samik, what's the real name? Should it be resolvable from
the public Internet?
What exactly you mean by packet filters? How do I check what packet filters are active?The original message reported the following error when connecting by IP address:
failed: could not create socket: Operation not permitted
I wonder of packet filters are preventing the PostgreSQL connection from working, and possibly causing DNS problems as well.
Thanks for your time.
