Re: Postgres replication

Hi all,

looking for a HA master/master or master/slave replication solution. Our
setup consists of two databases and we want to use them both for queries.


Aside from pgpool II there seems no advisable replication solution. But
the problem seems to be that we will have a single point of failure with
pgpool. slony also has the disadvantage not to cover a real failover
solution. Are there any other manageable and well tested tools/setups for
our scenario?

I'm about to setup a similar config and what I was intending to do is to run pgpool on both boxes and use heartbeat (from http://linux-ha.org ) to move an IP address from one box to the other. clients connect to this virtual IP and then pgpool will distribute the connections to both systems from there.
