Well, have you checked that you're connecting to the same postmaster
you're restarting?
After that, I'd ask to see the whole pg_hba.conf and not just the part
you think is relevant ;-)
FWIW, the log message suggests that the connection is coming across
IPv6, so you need to look at the IPv6 entries in pg_hba.conf.
