Re: libpq connectoin redirect

While these can be handled at higher level, for example, by setting
up LDAP or as Hekki suggested, tricking DNS, the problem is that
I don't have control of how the user connect to the server. They
may not use LDAP. Solution like pgbouncer has advantages. User
just get one ip/port and everything else happens automatically.

Thanks,
