But I'm not very assured about this solution. Uh, we really don't _recommend_ replication solutions. However, I will say I have heard of Slony, but never of DRDB. It seems DRDB replicates the file system blocks to another machine. While this could work just fine, it is different than something like Slony that allows you to replicate only certain tables and allows for you to switch master and slave roles among servers. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
