Daniel,

We do have hot_standby = on. I ought to have included the postgresql.conf.
Notable settings on this particular box are:


wal_level = archive

# archive_mode (default)
# archive_command (default)

max_wal_senders = 5 # max number of walsender processes (if master)



hot_standby = on # "on" allows queries during recovery (if not master)


Thus, when in recovery, we do allow queries, since in production, we want a
hot standby brought up with WAL-E (and replicating indefinitely due to
recovery.conf that also contains a hot standby host) to be able to serve
queries.
