One possible solution you should look at is Bucardo, which
does master-master replication. One of the tricky parts you
might want to reconsider though is:

This says to me that you should simply make all writes go to the
local box, and have Bucardo keep trying to keep things in sync.
If it can connect, great. If not, it dies and tries again later.
