[Pgpool-general] what does "master node" mean in context of replication in pgpoolII?

Hello everyone,

When I enable replication in pgpool II 3.0.1, does the "master node"
have any special significance? I have found (by experiment) that INSERTs
 get propagated to all nodes instantly as far as I can tell, so how does
one node differ from another node?

There is a caveat, but rather small one:

"caution: Stop autovacuum on the master node (the first node which is up
and running). Autovacuum may change the contents of the database and
might cause inconsistency after online recovery if it's runnung."

Other caveats?

And how do I find out which node is master node from viewpoint of pgpool
anyway?
