Sorry for a dumb question, but I couldn't figure that out from your
references [1]..[4]: does that mean that the PostgreSQL server would
"advertise itself" on the local net? Or what is the purpose of liking-in
libavahi into the postmaster?
Surely one wouldn't want this in a data center? Is there a possiblity to
disable that at run time?
Thanks for any insights
