Err to steer the conversation back to the original subject, I meant,  
are there scripts that do the replication for you in common scenarios?  
Or is everything still roll-your-own?

I can see these problems in replication:
- Keeping track of replicas
- Handling replica-down and replica-up events
- Keeping track of which subset of data to replicate

I suppose a blind "try until it succeeds" approach might work, so a  
"while sleep 3; do curl URL_TO_DO_REPLICATION; done" might be the end  
of it.

I'm just wondering.
