Can some one please give me a bit more of a better explanation on how exactly the pgbouncer works as I am now lost. I'm not sure if it is pooling the connections cause surely if its not being used the connections should go down not up i.e i run the webpage which has my map running which is an open layers map reading geoserver all my data on geoserver is from a database in postgres. When you start the web page it goes to 46 connections and after moving around for a while and selecting the different overlays that I have on the map it goes up to 75 connections after not touching it for a while nothing happens the connections don't go up or down, but when I move the map around and zoom then the connections increase again to 84 connections.
