I've been thinking that one way to emulate replication would be to run a
pgsql "shim" that would redirect queries to two back-ends
simultaneously, creating transactions for update commands, and aborting
when necessary.  The shim would be a long-running gateway process, that
could check for data consistency when it started up.  This is all off
the top of my head, so is this at all a reasonable idea?

I am running into a similar situation, where I want to set up two live
redundant sites, where nightly updates aren't an option.
