If you don't {have/want to use} shared storage, you can use WAL
replication:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/warm-standby.html
There are two tools that I can suggest for this. Walmgr:
http://pgfoundry.org/projects/skytools/
or pitrtools:
https://projects.commandprompt.com/public/pitrtools/
If you want to use shared storage, I'd suggest using Red Hat Cluster
Suite or such.
http://www.gunduz.org/download.php?dlid=142
is the link to the presentation that I made 4 years ago about this. We
have customer here who is using RHCS+PostgreSQL 8.4 on 4 servers, which
use shared storage and they failover each other whenever one of them
goes down.
You can also use Slony-I or Londiste, too.
Please note that 9.0 will ship with major features for this.
-HTH.
