[Pgpool-general] pg_terminate_backend triggers failover on pgpool when used as standalone pool

[Glyn Astill]

Hi Guys,

We're using pgpool-II 2.3.3 purely as a connection pool to postgres 8.4, however if any one of the connections are closed via pg_terminate_backend in postgres 8.4 then pgpool attempts to fail over to a nonexistant node? See logging below.

Also how do we log when pgpool is run as a daemon? The only way I could get the log output was to run with -n.

Thanks
Glyn
