You could maybe, possibly, theoretically hack Slony to run against 7.2. I know someone did this to get slony to run on 7.3. You'd want to use an old version of Slony, which means you'd only be able to go from 7.2 to 7.4. But once you were on 7.4, you could use the most recent Slony to go from 7.4 to 8.1. Another possibility is using a command-based replicator, like pgmirror, or what Continuent offers. But you need to understand the drawbacks of such a method. -- Jim C.
