There are quite a few replication projects for postgres, aren't you writing them off a bit too easily? I know that for example the guys from Skype wrote and maintain one of them, I imagine they'd be quite concerned about HA. And there are a number more (see: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling). I suggest that you poll their mailing list with your problem/requirements if you didn't already. They're usually rather helpful and will certainly confirm if there's no solution to your situation (yet).
