Query not using index

Hi all,

I have a problem with a query which doeson't want to use indexes. I
tried to create different indexes but nothing help. Can anyone suggest
what index I need.
This query is executed 1.5Milion times per day and I need it to be veri
fast. I made my test on 8.0.0 beta but the production database is still
7.4.6 so i need suggestions for 7.4.6.
I will post the table with the indexes and the query plans.
iplog=# \d croute
Table "public.croute"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-----------------+--------------------------+-----------
confid | integer |
network | cidr |
comment | text |
router | text |
port | text |
valid_at | timestamp with time zone |
archived_at | timestamp with time zone |
Indexes:
"croute_netwo" btree (network) WHERE confid > 0 AND archived_at IS NULL
"croute_netwokr_valid_at" btree (network, valid_at)
"croute_network" btree (network) WHERE archived_at IS NULL
"croute_network_all" btree (network)

iplog=# select version();
version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC)

(1 row)

!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE QUERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
customer=> explain analyze SELECT *
customer-> FROM croute
customer-> WHERE '193.68.0.8/32' <<=
network AND
customer-> (archived_at is NULL
OR archived_at > '17-11-2005') AND
customer-> valid_at <
'1-12-2005'::date AND
customer-> confid > 0;

QUERY PLAN

zone)) AND (valid_at < ('2005-12-01'::date)::timestamp with time zone)
AND (confid > 0))

customer=> select count(*) from croute;
count
-------
10066
(1 row)
This is the result of the query:
confid | network | comment | router | port |
valid_at | archived_at |
-------+---------------+---------+------+----+-------------------------+-----------+
19971 | xx.xx.xx.xx/32 | xxxxx | ? | ? | 2005-03-11
00:00:00+02 | |
(1 row)
And last I try to stop the sequance scan but it doesn't help. I suppose
I don't have the right index.
iplog=# set enable_seqscan = off;
SET
iplog=# explain analyze SELECT *
iplog-# FROM croute
iplog-# WHERE '193.68.0.8/32' <<=

iplog-# valid_at <
'1-12-2005'::date AND
iplog-# confid > 0;

I try creating one last index on all fields but it doesn't help.
iplog=# CREATE INDEX croute_all on
croute(network,archived_at,valid_at,confid);
CREATE INDEX
iplog=# explain analyze SELECT *
iplog-# FROM croute
