Story:

<a href=\"http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/projdisplay.php\">Slony 1</a>, the successor to the eRServer replication project used for hosting the .org and .info domain names has entered it\'s second beta testing phase.

Slony 1 has been masterminded by Jan Wieck, a member of the PostgreSQL Core Team and designer of the original PostgreSQL RServ replication system.

Slony 1 is a working, advanced Master to Multi-Slave replication system that is BSD licenced, written in C, and works with PostgreSQL 7.3 and 7.4.

Due for production release near the end of this month, Slony 1 has just entered it\'s second beta phase and is very well worth checking out by those with an interest in PostgreSQL replication.
