Sure, Bucardo could do that - just start Bucardo up when you
want to do the sync, kick it off, and shut it down again before
you disconnect from the network. Generally, you'd do this:
Setup Bucardo on one side or the other (it does not matter which).
Add the other database and tables, and describe what should be
synced. This will setup the triggers on both sides. Turn Bucardo
off. Start it up and do the sync when you have a connection.
When the traveller wants to sync with the home base, they simply
connect to the network, start up Bucardo and fire off the sync.
Alternatively, if you don't want to install Bucardo on the remote
computers, Bucardo could live on the "home" system, in which case
it would startup there and fire off the sync when asked to. You
could even run a single Bucardo instance on the home and toggle the
databases from "active" to "inactive" status in the bucardo.db table.
