It just occurred to me, while browsing through the last hacker's digest, that OOB might be more trouble than it's worth. What about having the Postmaster listen on a second socket as an alternative? Certain commands could be issued there, outside of the main connection (possibly even via UDP) as one-shot deals (not requiring a persistent connection) and the postmaster could pass the information on to the appropriate backend in a nice, intrusive fashion. :) -Brandon :)
