SIgh... I guess you didn't try putting digistar.com (the domain name for my email address) in your browser to see where that led you? :-) Perhaps your email client doesn't show the domain name... I use a different email address for different mailing lists, etc. - it makes it easier to change addresses when the spammers find it (only one list to change instead of 50 subscriptions tied to one account).

With that said - when I switchover to the standby, what is the recommended method to point clients to the new primary? As it stands now, when the primary becomes a standby I can still connect to the standby but because the database is not open (physical standby) only views are accessible.

thanks
