This sounds like a job better suited to a normal active/standby
configuration with regular built-in streaming replication. Use a tool
like repmgr to manage failover and a proxy like pgbouncer to redirect
traffic.
There's no reason to use async multi-master replication when simple
single-master replication will do just as well.
