That's what I thought, and I'd typed up much the same as you Lincoln, but...

which seems to rule out network problems and put the problem in the config
settings area. Unfortunately I don't know anything about this mapserver
software, so the only thing I can suggest is that it's connecting
incorrectly somehow.

Try "tcpdump port 5432" on the PG server and see if any packets arrive on
that port. Failing that, try "tcpdump src 1.2.3.4" but with the IP of your
live server - you'll probably need to be root for both. This will at least
show if it's trying to contact the right port.
