I think this is exactly what Konstantin is complaining about.
In his scenario, different clients connecting from the same subnet (so
they can't use different pg_hba lines) need to use different
authentication methods. (IIRC, this is an environment coming from
Microsoft SQL Server which does support this)
I think what he's asking for is the ability for a line in the server to
allow multiple authentication methods, and then for the client to be
able to specify which one of these it uses.
Konstantin, can you confirm that this was your scenario? You explained
it to me last night, but that was several beers into the evening...
