This was a long time coming as a followup, but Josh Berkus sketched
the kernel of a way to do this using Slony for me while we were at
OSCON.  I dunno if it'll work, but basically the idea is to expand
the key that the trigger needs to include a serverid.  You'd need
some management tools for this.

He told me that Sybase's answer to conflict resolution in these cases
is that the first one in wins, period.  I don't know I'm comfortable
with that.
