thank you for the quick reply (again!). I am not using pgpool admin so is it possible to share the shell script that does the rebuilding? Also, if a slave is lost, when he comes back up, will he not "catch up" using Streaming Replication?
As of now (v9.3 of postgreSQL), you need to rebuild old (lost) master from new master. Glad you could discover the magic of pgpool :-)
You can either use pgpoll admin to do this rebuilding in a single click or you can write your own shell script (like I had done) to resotre a lost node (do remember to test a scenario where slave is lost and you have to rebuild that).
