Having a "real" and a "fake" labsdb1004 seems very confusing; I would expect "hostnames with numbers" to always refer to the same hardware. On Toolserver, there was a similar setup for the MySQL DB servers: "rosemary", "daphne" & Co. always referred to distinct physical hardware, while "sql-s1" & Co. were aliases that pointed to the hosts (actually, to a HA distributor that forwarded the connections to the hosts). I don't know at the moment if PostgreSQL checks the server's hostname during authentification, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
