There's not much in the way of integrated features. More or less,
you get (possibly more than one) slave replicated from one master.
The model is async., so there is a gap between the transaction on the
master and it committing on the slave. It's a _small_ gap, but it is
there.

We are currently using eRServer for the .info registry, and starting
next week it will also underpin the .org registry. Dunno if that's
good enough performance for you. It works for us.
