Re: cant conect to dynamic host-URL

The only difference with a dynamic URL is that the DNS expiry 
(time-to-cache) is much lower (usually 5 minutes as opposed to a day.)  
DNS clients don't see it any differently.
I would try a newer PHP version (latest in the 4 series is 4.4.4).

I must admit I've never had a problem with pg_connect not seeing a 
domain the server itself can.

Is the PostgreSQL server on the same box as PHP?  Have you tried 
connecting through domain sockets instead?
