That's good to know. We are now trying to move to a HA architecture and we are facing these kind of problems. Any success case you know making usage of porsgres cluster with pgpool-II ? To be honest, we don't test (or support) PostgreSQL or pgpool. We do test and support Spacewalk with Oracle Database RAC, but I guess that's not an option here. :) I would suggest perhaps providing the configuration steps you followed exactly in mode detail so that any PostgreSQL/pgpool experts can chime in, because the original email didn't have much detail on how you configured Spacewalk during installation.
