Hello All,

I am a newbie to pgpool and I am trying to grasp how the load-balancing aspect works.

our set up is a set of three webservers connecting to our pgpool machine which turns around to three DB servers.

the DB servers are Postgresql 9 set up in streaming replication mode, as a result we don't do the replication via pgpool. in the end we are looking to have one master for writes and two read only hot standbys.

we have set the pgpool to use all three servers but we only see connections to one the master.

is this a ramification of having a very very light load during our testing phase (aka the master is fast enough that pgpool never looks to another machine, or should SELECTS be sent via round robin or similar mechanism? Is this a result of connection pooling versus load balancing?

Thank You
