What exactly have you got in pg_hba.conf?

AFAIK there is no such thing as a "Bonjour connection"; Bonjour just
provides a means for the server to advertise its IP address.  I
speculate that what it's advertising is a port that you have configured
to be trusted.

The default:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               trust

and:

host  all  somerole  192.168.1.0/24  md5


the local unix and local tcp lines aren't catching the connection - if I remove my added connection, all external connections fail, as expected. And I tried reording it so my addition is first, but a bonjour connection is still trusted.

I realize that bonjour just supplies IP info to the client. I too find it strange that the server would see the connection differently.
