Re: [ADMIN] Question about multiple postmasters

Postmaster is multi-proccess server..... i don't know why you would like to run multiple postmaster. it might make sence if you wanto run different userid for postmaster but still you can use pg_hda.conf file to control user access; therefore, in my opinion, I don't think it's good idea to run multiple postmaster in same server.
