What I'm currently looking at is this combo:
https://repmgr.org/ (for quorum voting, fail over *and seamless fail back*)
https://pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page (for a common IP address)
On a switchover (whether planned or unplanned), repgmr reconfigures PgPool
to use the New-primary's IP address.
