Great answer, you cleared up all of the confusion I've had. Thank you!
We've written a wrapper cookbook to help with setting up HA Chef by
splitting the services onto separate hardware and enabling replication
for Postgres/Solr/Bookshelf. We ended up with 4 types of hosts (4th
being the web UI / API server).
However, we couldn't use the postgresql recipe that comes with
chef-server cookbook because it doesn't have any attributes to set up
replication. Also, once we've modified all the log_directory
attributes, "chef-server-ctl tail" broke.. I wonder if someone
somewhere would like to know more about this.
We've managed to avoid modifying chef-server cookbook to fit our
purposes, though, which says that the authors have done a great job at
making it customizable enough.
