I'm running 7.4.8 on RHEL 3.0 x86. Today, on two separate servers, I modified the resolv.conf file to point from two functioning name servers to two others. Within 5 minutes, one server would not accept new remote connections. I could log in fine w/ psql locally. All name servers involved were working fine before, during, and after. Postgres kept spawning additional postmaster processes, they'd run for a few seconds/minutes, then die. There was nothing in the logs other than routine queries / transaction log recycling. I bounced postgres, and everything is fine. 45 minutes later, the second server did the exact same thing. Anyone ever seen this? thanks!
