I stand corrected. I was unaware of the replication option. I did know 
that cyrus-murder is designed to be a fully redundant solution, but 
misused the term replication. I suspect that every time I saw the word 
replication, I shuddered, though of cyrus-murder, and quickly turned the 
page :-)

Off to read the "replication" docs.
