Hi,

I have to meet the challenge of creating a wide area database cluster.  
Since
I have made some good experiences with Slony-1 in the past, I'm  
wondering
if it would also work with wide-area networks. Of course, bandwidth  
and latency
are main issues but also network failures.
The Slony-1 documetation says that it might not be suitable if some  
nodes may
fail oftenly but it does not explain how slony deals with such  
failures (maybe someone
can explain this to me?).

So what I'm asking is: Does anyone have experience with Slony-1 and  
wide area
clusters?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Michael
