hello! I had the same problem, is possible to solve it with a rules but
depend. In my db i used a trigger because,i have multiple insert in
cascade and the rules dont handle this

manual for trigger procedure:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=1&file=plpgsql-trigger.html

trigger vs rules
