You should be able to run these steps anywhere where you have Slony-I
software installed.

In some of our environments, we'd have *three* servers for this:
1.  Server where the database for node 1 resides
2.  Server where the database for node 2 resides
3.  Server where we intend to run slons.

In that case, we'd usually run *ALL* of this on the third server.

It's certainly simpler to run it all in one place.
