But it is worth noting one thing about the synchronization...

Slony-I's strategy is pretty simple: One node is considered the
"master," and the other node is forcibly made to conform to what is on
the master.

If you want to synchronize back and forth (e.g. - multimaster
replication of some sort), Slony-I is not suitable...
