Is this a web hosting scenario where each user has their own database? If it is any kind of option to combine these databases together, and separate the data based on namespaces, I'd expect that to turn out somewhat better. You may be able to support it if you HEAVILY automate the management of schemas, although since each DB would need to be a cluster, and each cluster needs a slon process per node, you're talking about having at least 120 slon processes... In any case, it sounds, based on first impressions, that the PostgreSQL 8.0 Point In Time Recovery system may be more easily suited to this. That approach involves copying WAL files from source host to destination host(s), and will handle as many databases as you might have on the system. PITR unfortunately doesn't give you the ability to have a "hot" standby that can be used to support read-only queries...
