The flip side of that is that with known ports it would it easier to
have a process on the Postgres machine or in the database that checks
the ports on regular basis. And as part of that process mark any non
responding ports as inactive. That would solve the zombie problem.
That's one possibility. But the "reaper" process could just as well scan
the service table,
and probe those too. So again, I'm not sure what the fixed-port approach
gains me, beside
perhaps the reaper not having to connect to PostgreSQL itself. I'm OK
with connecting.
What is the reaper process?
Thanks for the your input. Always good to have one's arguments
challenged by experts.
