Yes. You could let a program like ldirectord take care of that. I
believe keepalived can do the same job.

I'm not sure i understand what you're trying to do here. Do you want to
have the realserver disabled automatically or manually? If the latter,
you could use ipvsadm to alter the LVS table. Or by a script like this
for example (untested) :
#!/bin/bash
RS=$1
STATE=$2
PORT=5432
case $2 in
disable) ipvsadm -e -t ${VS}:${PORT} -r ${RS}:${PORT} -w 0
;;
enable) ipvsadm -e -t ${VS}:${PORT} -r ${RS}:${PORT} -w 1
;;
*) exit 1
;;
esac
run `./this-script 192.168.1.100 disable` , then update your db, and run
`./this-script 192.168.1.100 enable` to continue business as usual.
If automatically, in the case a db is simply not accessible by a tcp
connection for example, a program such as ldirector could help you.

I don't know piranha (check redhat's mailinglist(s) for that) so i don't
know if it had its own build-in healthcheck mechanism.

It's linux, there's always another way :)
