My only thought would be to change 'pseudo' to 'virtual' ... my initial read, I was looking for a system database like template1/template0 being created ...

Thx ...

I'm reading through the Wiki docs, and one thing isn't clear:

"3. Set up connections and authentication so that the standby server can
successfully connect to the pseudo replication database of the primary."

I've searched Google, to see if its mentioned anywhere else, but nadda ...
can't connect to it using psql, which makes it confusing as to why I'm
configuring access to it via pg_hba.conf ...

Yeah, since there is no 'replication' database unless user explicitly
creates it, psql would be unable to connect to it. 'replication' is the
keyword of pg_hba.conf only for authenticating the standby server. This
keyword needs to be specified in the 'database' field of pg_hba.conf.
So I expressed it as the pseudo replication database. Please see the
document for details.

If that expression is confusing, please feel free to modify it in the
wiki and doc ;)
