Something seems to have messed up my dblink interface...
The only thing I can think that has changed the last week

What version were you using beforehand? Are you *sure* nothing else
in
your environment has changed?
levan=# select dblink_connect('host=mbp user=levan dbname=levan
password=foobar')
levan-# ;
ERROR: could not establish connection
DETAIL: could not translate host name "mbp" to address: Temporary
failure in name resolution
... because it is really, really hard to see how that particular
failure could arise from anything except a broken DNS configuration.
Try "nslookup mbp" at the shell command prompt. If that fails with
a similar error message, Postgres is not at fault.

Ok,
I found that for all of my boxen that if I connected to 'server' that
I could not connect back via dblink to the original host!
The nslookup worked fine in every case...
'server' is also my local nameserver. I took a flier and rebooted
the rascal and everything started working again :)
Thanks for the hint.
Jerry
