Hi Josh,
This is exactly the same setup I'm currently testing. For those
asking why use both WAL shipping and slony, it's simple; this means
we have no single point of failure. If slony stops replicating
because we mess up a replication set or our shipping method (NFS)
falls on its ass, at least we still have some replication going.
We have to use slony, like you we need a replica to take the load off
of our main system, this is mainly for our reporting processes.
