What is the procedure for failover. Will do the slon prozesses the 
propagation of the new master automaticaly? I think nothing happens 
after the master db goes down. In my slony cluster there was no way of 
doing updates in a set until the master db came up again.

I have to nodes. The master has the virual ip at eth0:0. I thougth that 
I can watch the postgresql prozesses on the nodes and could do a switch 
over of the set origin and the virtual ip to the other node on an mond 
alert.
