Why failover?  Is the master dead?

Are you syncing your sequences?  Is the duplicate a result of trying
to insert the primary key based on some sequence?  Clearly some data
is not fully synchronized when you did your failover.

Also, there is a whole mailing list dedicated to slony replication.
Take your question over there for best reach of people who can help
you.
