(The comparable case I tested in postgresql was to set listen_addresses = 'full.name.of.host', which failed due to DNS not working yet. But now that I look at this example, I bet setting listen_addresses to a numeric IP would have the same issue as your mysql example.) Thanks for the followup. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
