Hey guys,

I just set up a remote SSL port to our production db servers.  Yeah, 
yeah, it's iffy, but management...

I generated a server.crt and server.key as per docs.

I set ssl = true in postgresql.conf

I put this in pg_hba.conf:

hostnossl    all    all         127.0.0.1      255.255.255.255   md5
hostnossl    all    all         <farmip>       255.255.255.255   md5
hostnossl    all    all         <farmip>       255.255.255.255   md5
hostssl      all    all         <remoteip>     255.255.255.255   md5

Basically, I changed my 'host' to 'hostnossl' to deny ssl connections 
there (as I noticed psql seems to connect as ssl by default), and I 
allowed and required our office ip to connect ssl

Now, I get heaps and heaps of these in my postgres log, from my farm ips:

Feb  9 18:07:35 goddard postgres[33474]: [3-1] FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf 
entry for host "207.228.xxx.xxx", user "us-php", database "usa", SSL on
Feb  9 18:07:36 goddard postgres[33476]: [3-1] FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf 
entry for host "207.228.xxx.xxx", user "us-php", database "usa", SSL on
Feb  9 18:07:36 goddard postgres[33478]: [3-1] FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf 
entry for host "207.228.xxx.xxx", user "us-php", database "usa", SSL on
Feb  9 18:07:45 goddard postgres[33480]: [3-1] FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf 
entry for host "207.228.xxx.xxx", user "us-php", database "usa", SSL on

Does this mean that libpq always attempts to connect in SSL mode and 
then falls back?  Is it detecting that ssl=true and assuming that, even 
though that particular IP does not support SSL?  Is there some way to 
fix this?
