We are upgrading our servers and have run into an interesting situation. It
has been proposed that we have a direct connection from the web servers to
the postgres server via extra NICs. Has anyone done this before and how big
a project would it be to alter ASP and Java applications to make use of such
a connection?
Before we even waste time installing the NIC's I would like a sense of how
hard it is to get postgres to use that kind of a connection vs over the
Internet. We are looking to increase communication speed between the web
servers and database server as much as possible.
Thanks
