You really haven't told us which approach to scaling you require. Many
are available and PostgreSQL is really only good at a few of them.
Anyway, current replication is a PITA mostly due to it's inability to
easily start from an empty live database and catch up. You might want to
throw a developer at helping SLONY along if you're feel master/slave is
the right direction, since presumably you will have several slaves.
