<html><body>Hi, <BR>
<BR>
Sorry for reviving old thread, but I've recently gone up to 3.6.7 and observed <BR>
same behavior. <BR>
<BR>
As I understand it, trusted_servers is a mechanism that should prevent standby <BR>
pgpool service to bring up the delegated IP, and cause split brain where there <BR>
is a network partition between pgpool servers. <BR>
<BR>
But struggling to see why standby that is able to communicate with it's master <BR>
over watchdog channel would declare itself dead upon failing to contact <BR>
trusted_servers. <BR>
<BR>
In fact I've had two scenarios : <BR>
 - standby pgpool declared itself dead on failing to contact trusted server, <BR>
which was discovered when master pgpool was manually stopped and there was no <BR>
standby to fall back to.<BR>
- master declared itself dead on failing to contact trusted server, which <BR>
initiated failover procedure and standby picked up the master role, bringing <BR>
up the delegated IP. this is correct behavior in general, but have been <BR>
noticed by customers and monitoring, hence some question have been raised. <BR>
<BR>
I would say both could be avoided, and were unnecessary downtime for the <BR>
delegated IP. <BR>
<BR>
Was there any conclusion to this issue, or design explanation to the behavior <BR>
? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks, <BR>
Piotr<BR>
