That's one way to solve that problem. If you are using repmgr/repmgrd
you can call own commands on events like failover. And, if you are using
pgbouncer or connection-pooling you can change the config for pgbouncer
(redefine the databases and there connection strings) and reload
pgbouncer. You can do that with the event-notification commands defined
in your repmgr-config.
Other solution: with some Java-drivers you can define several databases
and checks (if the database read-only or rw), the next PostgreSQL 10
will offer a similar feature.
