I don't know what your application and infrastructure architecture is
but I'd look at the solutions provided by Postgresql natively such as
Transaction Log Shipping [0] which could be provided by virtual IPs
are previously suggested.

If your application is web-based and lives in a Java app server, for
HA I would expect you would have a hot standby. In this case you could
use an intelligent load balancer to use the endpoint of the active
server.

Finally, I have used ha-jdbc in the past and it worked well for our
needs in an active-active configuration. Also it looks like it is
under active development [1]

Hope this helps,

Stephen
