I also streaming replication _and_ ship WALs them to the slaves, something like: restore_command='rsync -pog master::postgresql-wals/%f %p', so normally the slaves are up to date (via streaming replication) and the WALs are also on the slaves to be able to recover (maybe to some PIT) from them in case something goes wrong.
The recommended setup should be handled more in detail in the docs, since this is a topic where you can make a lot of mistakes :-(

assuming you have configured rsyncd on the server as:
[postgresql-data]
uid = postgres
path = /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/data
comment = PostgreSQL 9.0 data dir
exclude = postmaster.log pg_xlog/* postmaster.pid postgresql.conf
