You would need to adjust the advskew on the old master to be higher than
that of the backup (current master) upon restart. How you tell it to do so,
I can't imagine. You would need to reconfigure it before it sets up the
network interfaces, and you can't tell it to "not be master" until you can
communicate with it.

There is no "election" protocol where they are considered equal and defer
to the other if it is up. I'm sure there would be horrible race conditions
if that was even attempted.
