Simple process for simple replication.  This would not work optimally 
for replication through the WAN (or Internet) since it does not do 
differential replication (and therefore transfering dumps isn't 
good enough).  Then one has to worry about the integrity of the 
replicated data.  Then we need to answer the n-way question (any db 
server may be a source for the replication).
