Thanks for that Egon.

I didn't read the OP properly. I thought it was asking how Postgresql handled
STALE connections.

The specific situation I have in mind is that inside my firewall's DMZ I have
an Apache server running PHP. This PHP opens a persistant connection through
the firewall to a postgresql service in another DMZ. If I reboot the
firewall, the PHP connection is lost and to get my PHP working again I have
to restart Apache (If anyone can suggest how I can either get round of
automate this I'd appreciate it).

How does Postgresql handle this? I would hope that it would notice the loss
of the IP connection and close the link gracefully, and not just leave the
connectino dangling.

Can anyone confirm this?
