I had looked into it but it looked as if it would not fit the crazy 
'requirements' provided. 'we want high availability but only using two servers 
*for everything* .. i.e. 1 server = appserver + db, for HA we will just add 
another server and they should automagically find themselves and whatnot ... 
but o/c it should not cost anything to add HA.
... and they wonder why I am slowly going mad. ;)

As time is/was short and slony looked like it would work well enough, I chose 
it.

The problem is, slony does not do the automatic failover thing so I took monit 
to solve this.
