<p>I've been running pgpool-II for a very long time as a connection
pooler on a local host. It works very well.</p>
<p>Now I wish to use it across the Internet, potentially, which
introduces security concerns. Therefore I wish to have the
connection to the back end use SSL, while for the *on-same
machine* client connections I don't care and in fact I'd prefer it
be off (since otherwise you need to actually encrypt/decrypt
TWICE)</p>
<p>Is this supportable?</p>
<p>I turned ssl on but when I connect to pgpool the connection to
the server is NOT SSL-enabled, and I get an error because the
pg_hba.conf on the back end server is set to require ssl.</p>
<p>If I use psql directly to the server (with -h and -p) then it
works.</p>
