Sounds like he already described it, or I read it wrong. The fact that some machines have several IP addresses hardly matters- whatever IP is used to connect to PG is what gets the reverse DNS lookup. That then returns a host. That host is then looked up, and as long as *one* of the IPs associated with that host matches the IP of the connector, it's good to go. > > is reverse looked up, which results in a host name. > > Some IP addresses have several host names, including in reverse > lookup; how is that handled? Yeahhhh... That's just busted, imnsho. But then, that's probably because it breaks Kerberos too. :) Thanks, Stephen
