There is not yet any multimaster replication solution.

The "latest and greatest" single-master/multi-slave answer at this
point is Slony-I --> <http://slony.info/>.  It only allows updates to
go to one of the DBs, but does allow all the DBs to be queryable, and
provides a quick way to switch between "masters."

Multimaster solution should be PGCluster and PGReplicator, but never tried.
