Hi, I have a web application (PHP) which runs on its own box, and connects to a database on a second box. The database box is behind the firewall and only accepts connections from the web server. I have set up stunnel on the web server and I would like to allow some limited external direct access to the db server, but I would like connections from stunnel to only access a specific database. The problem is that both the web server and the stunnel connections will come from the same box, and hence the same IP address, is there anyway I can distinguish between these two connection methods in pg_hba.conf? (I can't do it on username either) Thanks for any advice Adam -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
