What I was thinking is to find a way to reduce network traffic in
high-volume environments. If the archive_timeout is set to a really low
value, such as 1 or 2 seconds, it may result in a high traffic.
I thought that if both servers are in the same network, or better,
directly connected to each other, they could share the same partition so
that no network activity occurs.
Anyway, I haven't tried this feature yet on my test server, etc. I am
just trying to understand what's going on and what can be done with this
feature.
