I don't know whether Atushi runs pgCluster in a production environment,
I know his test rig involves a few virtual machines.

>From my own personal experience, I spent 3 months trying to set up
pgCluster in a production environment (as shown here:
http://www.pgcluster.org/wiki/Example) but unfortunately I couldn't get
multiple replicators working I therefore had to stop using it.  I only
know of one person using pgCluster in a production environment.  I do
believe that 95% of pgCluster is ready for a production environment,
unfortunately the other 5% requires lots more testing.  I think that
Atushi could do with some help to be honest, although he is now
concentrating on pgCluster II.
