Hi,

I have two NICs in my machine i want that postmaster shud only listen to the
internal NIC . I cannot limit it to listen in  unix domain sockets only
because
it needs to be accessed from other machine inside LAN.

Is there any way to accomplish it or a restrictive pg_hba.conf is the only
solution ?

Most of the servers ( like bind,apache) provide the facitly  of accepting
connections only on particular ip addresses / interfaces shud postmaster
also provide the same (in case its not so)?

Regds
