Crikey, that would be  quite a lot of  lot of SSL/TLS to set up. We have 
quite a few (massive understatement :( ... ) PostgreSQL database 
clusters spread over quite a lot (another understatement) of VMs.

The last time I suggested LDAP there was a lot of enthusiasm ... until 
they went down and looked at what might have to be done, after which it 
all became very quiet ...

Martin.
