We are upgrading our
servers and have run into an interesting situation. It has been proposed
that we have a direct connection from the web servers to the postgres
server via extra NICs. Has anyone done this before and how big a project would
it be to alter ASP and Java applications to make use of such a
connection?
Before we even waste
time installing the NIC's I would like a sense of how hard it is to get postgres
to use that kind of a connection vs over the Internet. We are looking to
increase communication speed between the web servers and database
server as much as possible.
Thanks
