Why failover? Is the master dead?
Are you syncing your sequences? Is the duplicate a result of trying
to insert the primary key based on some sequence? Clearly some data
is not fully synchronized when you did your failover.
Also, there is a whole mailing list dedicated to slony replication.
Take your question over there for best reach of people who can help
you.
