Thanks for that Egon.

I didn't read the OP properly.  I thought it was asking how Postgresql hand=
led=20
STALE connections.

The specific situation I have in mind is that inside my firewall's DMZ I ha=
ve=20
an Apache server running PHP. This PHP opens a persistant connection throug=
h=20
the firewall to a postgresql service in another DMZ.  If I reboot the=20
firewall, the PHP connection is lost and to get my PHP working again I have=
=20
to restart Apache (If anyone can suggest how I can either get round of=20
automate this I'd appreciate it).

How does Postgresql handle this?  I would hope that it would notice the los=
s=20
of the IP connection and close the link gracefully, and not just leave the=
=20
connectino dangling.

Can anyone confirm this?
