I had hard times to reproduce your problem. Can you change pgpool.conf
(debug = 1) and do pgpool reload, then send an insert to pgpool? That
should produce detailed debug information.

However, I recently had an incident where pgpool started sending inserts to the the read-only standby and not the master. I'm using master/slave mode with streaming replication and both the master and slave were up and running and when I checked the pgpool status, everything seemed normal. I'm also using delay_threshold = 100000. When this incident occurred, it was after a large data update in which the lag exceed this threshold. I believe that once the threshold was no longer exceeded, it started sending queries back to the standby and also started sending inserts there too.

Any idea as to why it would send inserts to the standby? I did not have debug on, so I don't have much information to go on, except I do know that the delay_threshold was exceeded and shortly after it was no longer exceeded, this started happening. Restarting pgpool cleared it up.
