"Some special RPM" to do what exactly? Just because someone has
PostgreSQL and Apache installed on their system doesn't mean they wanted
httpd to be able to try to connect to their MySQL server on another
machine in the network. Precisely that is what
httpd_can_network_connect_db would allow (as a side effect).
So please be more precise in what exactly that special RPM should set or
enable.
