ISTM that the client and the standby are the same thing.

Maybe. I actually don't think that I understand what problem we're
trying to solve here. If the connection between the master and the
standby is lost, shouldn't the standby realize that it's no longer
receiving keepalives from the master and terminate the connection? I
thought I had tested this at some point and it was working, so either
it's subsequently gotten broken again or the scenario you're talking
about is different in some way that I don't currently understand.
