It looks like most avenues for high availability with postgres are not
available if one of the machines is a 64 bit machine and the other a 32.
Somebody on this list suggested I install a 32 bit version of postgres on my
x64 machine. What's the best way to handle this? Should I compile it fresh?
Install the 32 bit binaries? Can I just copy the binaries from the
secondary?
I presume I am going to have to drop all the databases and reload them of
course.
Here are the uname -a of both machines.
