The idea: We are looking for a way to implement a synchronous single-master / multiple slaves systems. Meanwhile we are able to serialize / deserialize WAL records and send them to a group communication system which transports those records to the slave database.
This is not hard to do.


In fact, I believe Command Prompt's Mammoth Replicator does exactly
this.

Very close. We don't use the WAL (yet, slated for probably 8.1) but we
do use a transaction log shipping method. So the implementation is almost the same.
