You can update the bdr.bdr_connections entry and then kill the apply workers.
Right now bdr.bdr_connections_changed() doesn't know to check for a
changed DSN. I'd welcome a patch to address that, since I probably
won't have time to get to it soon.
We should have a bdr.bdr_connection_set_dsn(...) function, really.
Again, a patch would be welcomed.
