+ 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
