What does the "::ffff:" mean in a node address of "::ffff:192.168.1.1"
returned by sa_conn_info() in 9.0.2?

In this particular case, the ip address is that of a router which
stands in between the remote client and the database server... but I'm
curious about the extra stuff in front of it.

That is standard notation for IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Addresses...
