Some.

1) What kind of replication are we looking at? log file replay/syncnronous etc. 
If it is real time, like usogres( I hope I am in line with things here), that 
would be real good .Choice is always good..

2 If we are going to have replication, can we have built in load balancing? Is 
it a good idea to have it in postgresql or a separate application would be way 
to go?

And where are nested transactions?
