That sounds about right!

Here's the script to "dump enough information"...

<http://main.slony.info/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/slony1-engine/tools/slonikconfdump.sh?revision=1.1.2.4&view=markup&sortby=date>

You should be able to run that script against your existing cluster;
I'd urge that you try it out, to see what output you get, and to
validate that it agrees with what you'd expect.
