Yes, this looks like good.But ;

1. Do client interfaces (ODBC,JDBC OLEDB etc) need to
be changed ?

2. If a firewall is used, ppl need to know the second
port number so mean that 2 parameters should be added to
postgres the first is timeout value and the second is port
number of the second port would be used for keepalive..
