Sorry for the shotgun blasts of messages.

I'm checking the logs for my node2 and I see the following:

2007-12-12 20:44:32 EST FATAL  main: Cannot connect to local database - 
could not connect to server: D\uffff\uffff\uffffPVW
         Is the server running on host "earth" and accepting
         TCP/IP connections on port 5443?

Now I'm all too familiar with this error from working with Postgres. 
What I think is going on is that when it tries to connect to the 
database running on the local machine, it's passing the host parameter 
and failing to connect.  I can duplicate this issue with psql command line.

Problem is, I've tried setting the value to localhost, 127.0.0.1 and to 
a null string, but none of this works.

What should the host value be in the conf file for starting a slon 
process on the local machine?

I guess I could simply start that slon process on the other node, but 
that doesn't make a lot of sense.
