But if you have a combination of Slony + Linux HA you can make use of Slony failover to do an automatic failover when the master node goes down.

Without any knowledge of replication ? That will be difficult. You
should connect to one of the DB and have a look at slony schema tables
(sl_status and sl_listen for instance)...
You may also have a look at that page :

As written in documentation "Slony-I does not provide any automatic
detection for failed systems. "
First of all, you may want to upgrade to the latest stable slony1 version.
