I am sure there are lots of switches between me and the database. I
live in New Zealand and the server is usually in the US usually a
linode or rackspace node but sometimes it's also an EC2 Node.
This happens no matter where the database is. There are no port
forwards there is usually an iptables rule that says allow postgres
access from my IP.
