Yeah, you have to change the recovery.conf to point to the new master.

I can use a trigger file to promote my first slave to a new master but where I am confused (from reading various docs) is quite how the second, third and so on slaves know there is a new master and point to it for replication etc.
One place says it should be automatic (I don't find that) and another suggests you need to reconfigure each slave to point to the new Master (and I guess restart each).
