Hello All,


I'm new to postgresql, I have a basic question in using the 'reject' auth-method in pg_hba.conf.

I would like to reject a particular login from multiple range of IP addresses.


For example:


I want to reject login "test" from multiple IP ranges "100.101.13.0" & "200.101.13.0"


My questions:


1.  Do I need to make separate entires like below ones or can I separate the IP address range using comma?


"host   all  test  100.101.13.0  reject"

"host   all  test  200.101.13.0  reject"

2. If I make multiple entries to reject as above, how will it be treated, will the system read all the entries for the "test" login or will it stop after it finds the 1st entry for "test" login?

Can you please help with above questions.


Thanks,

Sathesh
