Hi
Quick question. I have a 2 node cluster - each node has its own ip.
But from reading this, I really need a 3rd ip, which potentially floats between the nodes to which ever is the master / rw node.
Is that right? Sort of makes sense I guess
That's one way to solve that problem. If you are using repmgr/repmgrd you can call own commands on events like failover. And, if you are using pgbouncer or connection-pooling you can change the config for pgbouncer (redefine the databases and there connection strings) and reload pgbouncer. You can do that with the event-notification commands defined in your repmgr-config.
Other solution: with some Java-drivers you can define several databases and checks (if the database read-only or rw), the next PostgreSQL 10 will offer a similar feature.
okay think I have it setup, but when i do a switch over it gets stuck here.
