Tom,

What's odd is after the DBA added the proper IP address entries to the
pg_hba.conf I was able to connect properly.

Regards,
Wil

Huh?  That error message can't possibly have anything to do with the
contents of pg_hba.conf.  What it looks like to me is a broken PostGIS
installation, ie, libpostgis present but libgeos missing.  If you're
seeing it at connect time, perhaps you have postgis set up as a
preloaded library?
