I make the changes into the pg_hba.conf and do a kill -HUP 'PID' for
postgres to reread the file. The pid number can be found in the
~postgres/data/postmaster.pid file

Subject: [GENERAL] allowing connections from additional hosts without a
restart?
Greetings,
Is it possible to allow TCP/IP connections from additional hosts (IPs)
without restarting postgresql?
The issue i'm having is that i've got a postgresql-7.4.6 box that has a DB
running on it for a j2ee based application on a separate server.
Now i need to add an additional DB for a different server, but I can't
afford any down time to restart postgresql for the changes in pg_hba.conf to
take effect.
Is there any workaround that doesn't require a restart?
thanks!
