Google postgresql replication. There are multiple replication /
clustering options depending on you needs. It's not built in to the
DB nor should it be because everyone has different replication needs.

The idea of separating replication functionality from the core DB
product isn't new. AFAIK IBM has always done this on there big iron
based DB2. Granted their cheap replication software costs more then
you paid for that server that is running MySQL, and the expensive
replication probably costs more then a cabinet worth of MySQL
servers. :-)
