I have this feeling that SSL in PostgreSQL isn't category 1 supported if you
can put it that way. Maybe I'm wrong?
Another way to ensure encrypted (and authenticated, I believe) connections is
to use stunnel with PostgreSQL.
I'm not sure which solution is the best. SSL in PostgreSQL is integrated.
Stunnel has the advantage of being more generic. having tried none, I don't
know about performance.
