Could you explain what hot-standby characteristic is most important?
If you desire to replicate <segments of> your Write-ahead log take a look at Point In Time Recovery
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/backup-online.html
 
If you desire to use separate physical machines with ability to replicate schema changes take a look at SLONY
http://slony.info/

Anyone ?
