The tutorial here excludes an important issue:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Binary_Replication_Tutorial#Failing_Over_To_The_Standby
After the failover is complete, it seems like a restart is required to
make the new primary capable of supporting a new hot standby.  Can the
config values be changed without an interuption of service?  I'm using
a hotstandby config in 9.0.x.  Anything different in this regard in 9.1?
Thanks.
