Actually, I've been perusing the list and I found a message from Tatsuo 
(03/08/2008 01:37 AM: Re: pgpool in production) that says:

But I was inclined to believe that he was talking about PGPool in a 
connection pooling mode, not replication.

In any case, if my layout is not doable with PgPool, I can settle for 
other layouts. I'm still in the "planning" stage :)
