You need one "slon" for each PostgreSQL database that is participating
in replication.

The edge case here would be that if a particular PostgreSQL cluster
(e.g. - an instance running on a particular host responding at a
particular port) has *two* databases involved in replication, then
*two* slons would be required, one for each database.

But if you have several replication sets that aren't particularly
similar to one another, that don't really need to interact, I'd expect
it to be wise to set them up as completely separate Slony-I clusters.
