Thanks Andrew.  I'm guessing this is going to be one of those suck-it-and-see things. The docs don't say anything about how it works at all, nothing about how it sends queries, how it ensures any replication lag is accounted for... nothing.  So I jut wondered if anyone had actually used it.

The docs are a bit inconsistent too, for example they mention the hostnames as backend_hostname0/1/2 etc, but the actual conf file has master/secondary_backend_host_name etc, so whats the third hostname parameter?

I'm just trying to minimise the chance of having to wipe sh*t off my face here.
