Maybe you can use too a multi-master replication solution that supports mysql
and postgresql like symmetricds,  http://symmetricds.sourceforge.net , it is
developed in java and can works like a library or a daemon, i am using now
between postgresql machines but it supports replicate heterogeneous database (a
common usage in the forums it is oracle in a central and many mysql like
clients), it is a trigger based replication so i think it can be good fit for
your needs.
