It's the slonik script.

That's what I do.

I tried the same failover/subscribe process after exchanging the 2 servers,
and I have the same problem.

but actually it think there is a config problem on one of the 2 servers as I
found that the standard php pg_connect function fails with host=localhost
and succeed with host='' (empty). very strange.
