Hello,

I looked through the docs already but I have a couple of questions about 
the process and wanted clarification.

I would like to use the slony recommended method to upgrade our 8.2.x pg 
install to 8.3.1. If I understand the documentation correctly, I need to 
install 8.3.1 on the server, make a slave node to the master and let 
slony sync the data between the two. Then, once the data is fairly 
in-sync, stop write applications, and issue a move set command to start 
using the new, updated master.

The questions I have are as follows:

1) Since node IDs x,y are already in use by the primary master (x) and 
slave (y), the new 8.3.1 node will receive an ID of 'z' (1,2,3 in 
numbers). Is it possible to rename the new node (z) to x?  I was unable 
to find any docs about this.

2) Am I correct to assume that any subscriber nodes will also receive 
the move set notification and start receiving notifications from the new 
master? Or would this require any reconfig on the slave node? I was 
unable to find any docs related to this, also.
