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!
