RE: 2 computers 1hd 2 postgres daemons. Is it possib le?]

As long as the requirement is only fail-over and not load-balancing, it
*might* be doable...but running against tables mounted across NFS will still
be slow, relatively speaking...

Granted it probably not the most efficient solution, but if it is something
that is really a problem... what about having your dual server, one data
source setup, but the second server is idle and does nothing and only kicks
in if the primary drops?  Might be more complicated to setup than it sounds
and there still would be a time delay for the second to pick up,  but it
technically would eliminate the two servers butting heads.  Again though,
not very efficient solution... unless it is very critical and money is no
object. :)
