This past week, I implemented a replication/load balancing cluster using 
pgpool-II to improve performance of the spam/virus scanning engine used 
behind the @postgresql.org mailing lists (among other things) ... initial 
setup was a breeze, but now I want to make sure that I haven't missed 
something critical here ...

... specifically, what happens if / when I reboot one of the nodes?

I just did an OS upgrade on one of the physical servers, so I just 
shutdown everything, to be paranoid, but figure that its not something I 
should have to do if I have things setup properly.

I've read teh docs about the 'Online Recovery' ... do I need to set that 
up, or does pgpool internally handle the fact that one node is down and 
'save' the queries until it comes back up and just dump it to node when it 
comes back up again?

Also, is there some method of testing that both nodes are 'in sync'?

Thx
