ps ax | grep INSERT shows a few processes from client machines not in
pg_hba.conf
The processes that do INSERTS keep appearing from other clients not in
pg_hba.conf
There is only 1 postmaster running
The connections that keep appearing are from jdbc clients.

Sounds to me like a mistake in your pg_hba file, ie, there is still
a line that allows them to connect. We've also heard of people editing
the wrong copy of pg_hba.conf, or sighup'ing the wrong postmaster ...
