Hello, today I recognized an error while playing with pgpool-II 2.1 and postgresql 8.3.5 (on 64bit linux). I really don't know if the error is caused by pgpool or if it's postgresql-related...?!? There are up to 200 active connections in parallel and thereby sometimes high load (with high write:read ratio, peak level ~60% write). Can this be a problem in such a usage scenario, are there some limitations in pgpool-II <-> number of connections / load ??? any hints are much appreciated, since we don't know what happened... thanks in advance...::GERD::...
