Now *that* does help ... and I suspect that this may be part of what my 
problem was last time ... sounds like the current PgPool-II (without 
disparaging it) is more what you build around vs install pre-existing 
software onto ... or, at least, not software you don't have access to the 
source code for :)

Have to play with this sum ...
