[GENERAL] Solutions for listening on multiple ports?
Is there a 'generally accepted' best practice for enabling a single postgres instance to listen for client connections on more than one ip/port combination? As far as I can tell, the 'listen_address' and 'port' configuration variables can only accommodate single values: listen_address = 127.0.0.1 port = 5432 What I would like to simulate is Apache's notation: Listen: 127.0.0.1:5432 Listen: 192.168.0.1:54824 ... The force behind this is network security policies and such. I would prefer to not resort to kernel-level netfilter trickery to accomplish this, if possible. Thanks, Jason

You can separate listen addresses with commas: listen_address = '127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1' AFAIK, you only get one port per cluster.

You could likely use port forwarding to accomplish having pgsql listen on 1 port. In linux you'd do this with iptables. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
