Choosing A Webhost:

  I don't quite understand this sentence. Are you saying the boolean should

How about I add

# allow httpd to connect to mysql/posgresql databases
allow httpd_t { postgresql_port_t mysqld_port_t }:tcp_socket name_connect;
can_ldap(httpd_t)

By default and leave the boolean off?
