I seem to remember that nginx has a plugin architecture for protocols so it might make sense to write that as an nginx plugin instead of a standalone server, but that's really a judgement call the programmer has to make. Another possibility would of course be to extend pgbouncer to do what the OP needs. How would this work with JDBC clients? Same as with any other client, I guess. Any reason why it should be different? That goes to my ultimate point: why would this work, when the point of a database client is to connect to a database instance on a specific port like 5432, not connect to a web server.Consider this scenario: You have several databases scattered across several hosts and ports: db1 host1.example.com:5432 db2 host1.example.com:5433 db3 host2.example.com:5432 db4 host3.example.com:5432 Then you have your proxy/gateway/bouncer (whatever you want to call it) listening on proxy.example.com:5432.
Proxies/gateways are great. My question is about why you mentioned nginx. -- Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia.
