binding postmaster to *one* virtual IP address
Hello
I'd like to run postmaster on a workstation with several IP
addresses. What I'd like is to have it bind to one and only one of
those IP addresses.
I didn't see any specific option to do that.
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance for any information.

I think there is no such option.. However u can control who can connect
to ur database and which ip address thru options in pg_hba.conf file..
Sorry couldnt be of much help

maybe you can block incoming connections to pgport on the other ip adresses
with ipchains.
hope it helps

Nope but thanks.
I think that should be builtin in the application and should not rely
on other parts of the system.
I'm trying to figure out how to add a new option to do that.
If not already scheduled in 7.1, is it of any interest for 7.1 ?

There is support for this in 7.1, but not in previous releases.

You can control access to postgres on an IP basis using the pg_hba.conf.
That is probably the best way to do it.
