Point it at a VIP that travels with the master.

Subject: How to change standby node to sync from the new master without rebooting the PostgreSQL service?

Hi,

Whenever there is a change in master, PostgreSQL service on standby nodes must be restarted (after changing the master IP in the recovery.conf) to ensure it is syncing with the new master.
Is there a way to point to new master without reboot of PostgreSQL on the standby?

Warm Regards,
