Hm.  AFAIR postgres doesn't know anything particular about multipath
interfaces --- it just listens where you tell it to.  So I'm thinking
this is a system-level issue.  It still seems like it could be DNS
lookup related though.  Do you have log_hostname turned on, and if so
does turning it off make a difference?
