different port in this case, but the issue is actually with pcp_recovery_node part of pgpool.

[postgres@521 ~]$ pcp_recovery_node -h 10.14.202.76 -p 9898 -U pgpool -n 1
Password:
ERROR: connection to host "10.14.202.76" failed with error "Connection refused"

[postgres@521 data]$ psql -d postgres -h 10.14.202.76 -U pgpool -c "select count from public._test"
count
-------
5
(1 row)
