i did find out that /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf can contain
a line such as
virtual_host = '127.0.0.1'
using SINGLE QUOTES to delimit the IP address -- but successive
instances of that line such as
virtual_host = '127.0.0.1'
virtual_host = '192.168.1.1'
the latter will override/wipe out the former. i've tried taking
blind stabs in the dark such as
virtual_host = '127.0.0.1','192.168.1.1'
virtual_host = '127.0.0.1,192.168.1.1'
to no avail (errors in /var/log/postgresql.log):
FATAL 1: postgresql.conf:41: syntax error, token=","
FATAL: StreamServerPort: gethostbyname(127.0.0.1,192.168.1.1) failed
any nudges are welcome. :)
(there's always the firewall/ipchains/iptables route, but surely
there's a postgresql-specific way to turn listening on and off
for several addresses?)
