or you can use the logical standby feature of 9.2 and then have both databases open.
Replication bothers me when I start to think about synchronous vs asynchronous. Async doesn't "hold up" the primary site from continuing on, but the databases are not true copies of one another. Sync are true copies but you can hold up the commit waiting for a return from the remote site.
