Cascading replication with slots

Hi everyone,

I've never used replication slots before so I'm just wanting to clarify how they work on a two node streaming replication cluster.

1. From the documentation both active and standby nodes seem to be aware of the status of the replication slot... is that true?

2. Any limitations on using it with cascading replication? For instance, can I setup a replication slot on a standby, then replicate using that slot from another standby?

3. Or can I only replicate from the master when using replication slots?

Thanks!
