Certainly if you implement the same or possibly extended logic yourself in whatever language you are comfortable with. Myself and others have been doing warm-standby since WALs were invented :-) When the company I work for started requiring that WS servers be helf back a configurable time lag from production, I made some minor mods to our version of the standby script, now written in Python, to make it happen. WALs now have to pass sanity and aging checks before being applied.
