can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes

between row 2 and row 3.

o Allow pg_hba.conf to specify host names along with IP addresses

Host name lookup could occur when the postmaster reads the

pg_hba.conf file, or when the backend starts. Another

solution would be to reverse lookup the connection IP and

check that hostname against the host names in pg_hba.conf.

We could also then check that the host name maps to the IP

address.

o %Allow postgresql.conf file values to be changed via an SQL

API, perhaps using SET GLOBAL

o Allow the server to be stopped/restarted via an SQL API

The table should have a line number that is a float so rows

can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes

between row 2 and row 3.
