Whoops, a couple quick changes. This: [EMAIL PROTECTED] koczan $ ssh newton netstat | grep vero tcp 64260 0 newton.cs.wisc.edu:32778 vero.cs.wisc.edu:postgresqlESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 newton.cs.wisc.edu:32777 vero.cs.wisc.edu:postgresqlESTABLISHED
should be this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] koczan $ ssh newton netstat | grep vero tcp 64530 0 newton.cs.wisc.edu:32778 vero.cs.wisc.edu:postgresqlESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 newton.cs.wisc.edu:32777 vero.cs.wisc.edu:postgresqlESTABLISHED Also, the Send-Q column on the server side doesn't change, even after more async notifies. They may not have happened at the same time, but it's a bit perplexing that they all have the exact same amount of data in the queue.
