I don't remember the patch right now, but it seemed to me the patch
didn't have anything to do with multiple slaves anyway... When was it
posted? I can't find it in the archives... (it'd be nice to have the
date of the original message in the attribution when you quote other
people, that way it's much easier to find it in the archives)

Some 2 years ago I wrote a patch for multiple slaves and it worked
reasonably well... I wasn't too much in the Postgres world those days so
I didn't submit it. If I can get to my CVS archive I'll extract it and
post for review.
