[pgpool-general: 7934] multiple pgpools trying to make failover at the same time

[martin.quevedo at temiandu.com]

 Hello Tatsuo,

I was wondering, in case I have several web servers all with pgpool and two
postgres servers in streaming replication. How does PGPool deals with the
failover command when the master fails ?
Will all pgpools try to execute the failover command at the same time?
Is there a mechanism in which pgpool (or the failover script) can detect the
failover is already in progress and give up ?

Is this explained somewhere in the docs ?

Regards,
Martin
