Thanks. Indeed pgBouncer is the usual candidate in front of postgres streaming replication, together with pgpool. Take care that your link on pgBouncer dates back from 2008 !.
I had a look at pgBouncer in the past, but it was not actively maintained at that time. So I settled on a combination of pgpool and repmgr. People on pgpool mailing list are very reactive and helpful and the doc on the project is continuously improving.

pgpool does just that: it enables you to use the standby database as a read only while other queries are sent to the primary database only (http://www.pgpool.net/).

Actually, if you are looking for load balancing PgBouncer is better than PgPool. There is a nice article about that.

I used PgBouncer in a few of ny previous positions and found it to be very fast and efficient.
