I doubt that. There is an IB (Interbase) replication option today, but
you must purchase it. That isn't so bad actually. PostgreSQL looks to be
going that way too: base functionality is open source, periphial
companies make money selling extensions.
Besides simple master-slave replication is old news anyhow, and not
terribly useful. Products like FrontBase (www.frontbase.com) have full
shared-nothing cluster support too (FrontBase is commerical). Clustering
is a much better solution for redundancy purposes that replication.
