'K, I've been doing virtual hosting with PostgreSQL for 8 years now (god,
I feel old) ... what is hard about it?

In fact, we run MySQL (ack!) for some clients, due to their requirements,
and with the recent changes in our IPs, we're having a bugger of a time
with IP based access and getting those clients switched to the new IPs
then we had with PostgreSQL (MySQL uses an SQL based ACL system for
connections, apparently, vs our 'text based, sed changable pg_hb.conf
file') ...
