Hello,

I’m using pg 9.1.3 on CentOS 5 and have a few slave databases setup
using the built in streaming replication.

On the slaves I set the “listen_addresses” config option to an ip
address for a virtual alias on my network interfaces. The host has an
address of 10.1.1.10, and there is a virtual alias of 10.1.1.40 that
the slave postmaster binds to.

When the slave makes it connection to the master to start replication
the source address for the connection is the host address, not the
virtual alias address.
