Thanks for that.  I'd thought that was the way I had it.

Since there were some problems with the list earlier in the week, I emailed
Jan directly and was pointed at the slony_setup.pl perl script.  That works
for the situation.  While I had:

    store listen ( origin = 1, provider = 1, receiver = 2 );
    store listen ( origin = 2, provider = 2, receiver = 1 );
    store listen ( origin = 1, provider = 1, receiver = 3 );
    store listen ( origin = 3, provider = 3, receiver = 1 );
    store listen ( origin = 2, provider = 2, receiver = 3 );
    store listen ( origin = 3, provider = 3, receiver = 2 );

the perl script produced:

    store listen ( origin = 1, provider = 1, receiver = 2 );
    store listen ( origin = 2, provider = 2, receiver = 1 );
    store listen ( origin = 1, provider = 1, receiver = 3 );
    store listen ( origin = 3, provider = 3, receiver = 1 );
    store listen ( origin = 2, provider = 1, receiver = 3 );
    store listen ( origin = 3, provider = 1, receiver = 2 );

Note the origin != provider for 2<->3.

Can someone explain (or point me to the bit of the doc that explains) the
topology required please?
