Also consider the PITR and some work I did last year:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2005-06/msg00013.php

With PITR you can have one or more remote machine/s that
continuously replay log from main, and if the main crash
the "mirrors" can come out from their reply and go "on line".

At that time was not possible connect to a "replayng" engine
to perform ( at least ) queries, dunno if this changed in 8.1

BTW, did someone go further with that idea? If not I'd like rewrite
that stuff in C ( I do prefer C++ ).
