The notion that server replication is causing more problems than it
solves sounds sensible.  Especially if there is some way to have the
server storage replicated and a way to turn on a failover server using
the backend data.

I have only ever had one server.  So my repair issues have not even been
this; I think they are just the many little bugs that have mostly gotten
fixed.
