the former, I guess what you would like to do is to hide the kind
mismatch errors from his eyes and let pgpool goes on? If you mean the
latter, you would like pgpool disconnect slave and cotinue the session
with master. Which one do you want?

the latter, disconnect (degenerate?) slave, continue with master,
raise some flag somewhere to be handled by the sys admin.

BTW : couldn't find in docs, what is the master-slave mode ?
