I continue to recommend this solution to clients who need highly-available PostgreSQL servers. My only qualm with this setup is that one of the two nodes will always be idle, and that's a waste in my opinion. What would be great is if PostgreSQL had an active/active clustering solution that does load balancing and failover on its own. I don't see any acceptable implementation of this at the moment, though, so active/inactive using Heartbeat and DRBD is still the way to go. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free software GNU/Linux Specialist : GnuPG 0x93B746BE : we refer to freedom, not price.
