What about setting listen_addresses to '*'? If so, you would be able to connect to new master as soon as VIP has been moved to it. > Now that the master+slave configuration is up and running again, I'm > looking for advice on how to monitor for faults: I can fail over > manually, which is fine for now.

Probably the crash of the postgres and corosync process, the trouble of VIP, and network outage between the master and the client should be monitored, I think. Since any of them prevents the master from running queries from the client, we should cause a failover.
