[Pgcluster-general] S.O.S., replication sever failover

["Tomás A. Rossi"]

Hello people:

I have the following configuration:
2 nodes: one is a Redhat (named ldapserver) and the other a FreeBSD 
(named ldapserver2).
In each of them I have a replicator and a cluster (no load balancer).
The replicator at ldapserver is the root replicator.

When I shut down the root replicator and try to write to some cluster, 
the operation hangs. It never completes (it seems), like if the failover 
didn't work.

What am I doing wrong :( ?

Below I've attached the minimal version of my config files. Hope you can 
help me.
Thanks in advance,
