I'm assuming this is windows.
I ran into this when PGAdmin is fine with qualified DNS hostname, but the pg_pass file couldn't resolve and needed
dottedquad.
The corporate-world structure of windows networking and permissions is a mystery to me...
Just use the dotted quad and move along! lol
From cmd:
nslookup < ple.mydomain.com >
pg_pass.conf
<IP.IP.IP.IP>:<port>:<db>:<User>:<PASSWORD>

Subject: [EXTERNAL] PgAdmin cannot locate my server
I’ve got something really weird going on. My laptop can easily find my PLE production (production like environment)
usinga normal nslookup, but PgAdmin emits an error saying could not translate host name “ple.mydomain.com” host to
address:Unknown host
So where is PgAdmin looking regarding DNS entries? I would think that if the laptop can find it, that any app running
onit should be able to do so.
