Hello,

I maintain a relatively small slony-I replication set - tables will
only ever be hundreds of megabytes, and only then after a long time.

There seems to be a demand for me to turn off slaves or even the
master during periods of downtime, when our application isn't in use
at all (mostly night time, or when some slaves aren't needed). While I
appreciate that Slony-I's "normal mode of operation is that all nodes
are available", this hasn't been problematic so far. I suspect that
the volumes of data replicated by our application are small enough for
slaves to bring their event lag to zero within a minute or two of
becoming available again.

Am I asking for trouble by doing this?

Thanks
John Moran
