The GSS and SSPI authentication needs the kerberos service name of the PostgreSQL server. The default value is POSTGRES but this value can be changed. The ODBC driver allows to set this value using the configuration option "krbsrvname". This patch allows to send this parameter in the connection string.
If the ip address is used instead of the hostname, the SSPI authentication process uses NTLM authentication. By using the host name it tries first to use Kerberos and if this is not possible NTLM is used.
