hi all

i was able to simulate 5 different boxes using FreeBSD 5.4 and slony1.1 
Perltools installed using  PerlTools for Slony 1.1 guide.

Ive tested controlled swithover and it worked fine. I've also tried 
hostile failover as well and it's neat.

But i have a problem on rejoining the original master back to the 
cluster. For example:

BoxA is master and BoxB,C and D are slaves
BoxA suddenly dies, then BoxB takes over no problem
(i got the script for that)
but when BoxA is available, how can it rejoin and become the master 
again? perhaps someone there know a sample script that joins the processes?

someone adviced me to do this:

-drop the dead node on BoxA
(failover script in BoxB)

-recreate the empty database on BoxA
(i need guide, sample script? uninstall? init cluster?)

-Add the node to the cluster
(i need guide, sample script? no idea how)

-Subscribe the node to the set
(i have a script for this, but any suggestion is welcome)



Thanks All!
