Alan,
here I'm implementing something similar to the Chord protocol [1] on the
application level to partition my data across 6 PostgreSQL servers with N+1
replication. Two up sides on this approch:
1 - When one server is down the load is spread between all the other ones,
instead of going only to the replication pair.
2 - Adding one more server is easy, you only have to reallocate aprox. 1/n
of your data (n=number of servers).
Good luck there!
Best,
Daniel
