Two answers tend to come up:
  a) Slony-I (which I work on; URL below)
  b) Londiste (originated by "Skype folks"; see also "Skype Tools")

Slony-I has more documentation; Londiste is reputed to be a bit easier
to configure (though being somewhat documentation-light may still
leave the bar set pretty high).
