[Pgcluster-general] Failover weakness

Hello AGAIN :)

I think PGCluster doesn't manage well the following situation:

Again, I have nodes A and B both with cluster and replication server 
(synchronized). When node A or B gets disconnected from the network 
(whether the active replicator is in A or B), attempting to execute a 
write query on the connected DB hangs the query for, say, infinite time. 
The conclusion, failover doesn't work as one might expect because I have 
N fail-points for N nodes :( .

Is this normal, or just happened to me?

I'm really sorry for my excessive activity on the mailing list, it's 
just I'm evaluating PGCluster for production use and I need to do it 
quickly.

Regards and many thanks,
