Also had an issue with it because it cached authentication requests when doing passthrough it seems, I'd changed the roles password, but it kept using the old one, which was no bueno ;).
PgDog seems to make more sense when you really care about a few databases that need massive scale, rather than a simple proxy in front of postgres. I'll keep following the development though, it is much needed in this space, postgres can use all the investment it can get to get it past the single machine scale that it excels at currently.
