That's true of simple query broadcasting (ie: pgpool), but not true  
of Continuent/Sequoia. Continuent's software adds a lot of additional  
features on top of simple query broadcasting, making it far more  
robust than simply spewing queries out to every node in the cluster.  
You still have to be very careful with how you use it, but not nearly  
as much as with simpler solutions.
