By the way, despite my flip comment, it is entirely possible that what
you need would be better handled by one of the other replication
systems.  Slony is actually well-suited to this sort of thing, despite
the overhead that it imposes.  This is a matter of trade-offs, and you
might want to think about different roles for different boxes --
especially since hardware is so cheap these days.
