You won't find any documentation, for it seems that none has been
written. I was bitten by this fact and had to use an ugly hack to make
replication work... without erserver (basically dump and restore at the
other side). It works as long as the database is small...

Now, erserver seems to work, but it needs a bit hacking around that I
hadn't done yet. Maybe when I get it working I'll see to writing
something. In the mean time, source code is the only thing that can help
you.

The code is in contrib/rserv.
