Someone has indeed prepared RPMs for it, but whether they'll meet
your needs, I don't know.  One thing I frequently do is build my
packages offline, and then send them up to my production servers.

That's one of its main goals, and a reason Jan chose the
trigger-based approach.

Does this mean "how much overhead does one daemon take"?  I can say
that it's not outrageous, but the number of daemons you're talking
about would give me pause.  I'd test it pretty carefully.  Note that
the daemon does _not_ need to be on the same machine as the origin of
the database, although you likley want it in the same network.
