Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4 Operating system: Linux Description: psql -h localhost consults the nameservice Details: If I call "psql -h localhost" it is very slow compared to "psql -h 127.0.0.1" since for "localhost" the nameservice is consulted. It is reproducable best in a loop. Call 50 times: "psql -h localhost" takes 6 seconds "psql -h 127.0.0.1" takes 0.6 seconds This was not the case for psql from version 7.3 May be this has something to do with changes for IP v6.
