Hello -

I am curious as to people's opinion about best practices in deployment of pgsql in a high-availablity (HA) situation. By HA I mean that data loss must be as close to zero as possible, and that web servers using the DB need to be deployed in multiple geographic locations world-wide, to provide for network availability.

In my mind, this suggests a need for a multi-master configuration, such as that which can be achieved with pgcluster. I see redundency both within a POP, as well as cross-POP. I am however concerned about the latency implied by POP locations (let's assume a POP in the EU, US and JP).

I am aware of bizgress, though am concerned that it doesn't really address the wide-area replication issue. It does address the HA aspect within a single POP quite nicely though.

How do you deal with this, commerical or OSS?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

- Marc
