Like everyone else on this list, I'd too say it's the way you have set up
dns. Is there a line in /etc/resolv.conf saying 'search chalmers.com.au'?
And what does simply trying 'telnet nanguo' say?
But, now to the solutions:
a) If both Apache and PostgreSQL are running on the same machine, just
*don't* specify any hostname, not even 'localhost'. The connection will
be made via a UNIX-domain socket in that case. No hassle with dns and
you get slightly better performance, too.
b) Use the FQDN, ie 'host=nanguo.chalmers.com.au'.
c) Use the IP-number of the host, ie. 'host=203.1.96.5'.
And when you upgraded from 6.1 to 6.4, remember that postmaster doesn't
listen on a TCP-socket anymore unless you start it with '-i'.
