Hi,
While I have no experience with replication on pgsql, in general
multi-master database replication is much more complex and often require
a pretty rigid setup. The graphs on that page seems to tell the same
story for pgsql.
Are you sure you really need multi-master replication as opposed to
having a single active master in a replicated set? If properly
configured, cluster software can automatically fail over the active
master, which provides very good redundancy and is much simpler from a
technological standpoint.
