I like a configuration file more because you can easily add comments, 
comment out lines, etc. It also makes it easier to have a different 
configuration in master and standby. We don't support cascading slaves, 
yet, but you might still want a different configuration in master and 
slave, waiting for the moment that the slave is promoted to a new master.
