eRServer is to rserv, at this stage, like night is to day ... eRServer is

In fact, the *current* eRServer (which we're currently working on the
documentation for, and will be shipping out soon) now does multi-database
to multi-slave without having to start up several erserver processes,
where before you had to do one server per database ...
