RE: Question on binding VIP to Postgresql instance

Thanks Chris!

Our Network Admin have the instruction to bind a VIP, but regarding Postgresql what is needed to be done?

We don't have to change any parameter?

How about "listen_addresses = '<physical IP>, <virtual IP>' # what IP address(es) to listen on;" or we simply use "*"?

Subject: RE: Question on binding VIP to Postgresql instance

I think getting postgres to work with VIP (assuming virtual IP) is not a postgres issue, but rather a server/network issue.

Redhat seems to have some documentation on enabling nonlocal binding, which may be useful for you:

Onderwerp: Question on binding VIP to Postgresql instance

Good day,

Would you be able to help direct me to instruction or implementation step to bind a VIP to a Postgresql instance?

I did research and understand that Postgresql does support binding of VIP, but I can't find documentation to implement the solution.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Dan
