* when the password is required, there is no way to know for which host/ip it is:

sh> psql "host=127.0.0.17,local2.coelho.net,local.coelho.net"
Password for user fabien:

In the same vein on a wrong password:

 sh> psql "host=no-such-host,local2.coelho.net,local3.coelho.net"
 Password for user fabien:
 psql: could not translate host name "no-such-host" to address: Name or service 
not known
 could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "local2.coelho.net" (127.0.0.2) and 
accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
 could not connect to server: Connection refused
        Is the server running on host "local2.coelho.net" (127.0.0.3) and 
accepting
        TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
 FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "fabien"

The Fatal error does not really say for which host/ip the password fail.

Basically, with multiple hostnames and ips per hostname, error messages
need to be more precise.
