I am quite new to Slony as well, but one of the first requirements the
docs state is:
Thus, examples of cases where Slony-I probably won't work out well
would include:
* Sites where connectivity is really "flakey"
* Replication to nodes that are unpredictably connected.
So I suspect Slony is not a solution for your effort. See:
