Mimeo is an extension that provides specialized, per-table replication between PostgreSQL instances. It currently provides snapshot (whole table copy), incremental (based on an incrementing timestamp or id), and DML (inserts, updates and deletes).
Also installing the pg_jobmon extension (see other repositories in omniti-labs) to log all replication activity and provide monitoring is highly recommended.
In addition to the documentation, some additional information about this extension is discussed on the author's blog http://www.keithf4.com/tag/mimeo/
Requirements: PostgreSQL 9.1+, dblink extension
Recommendations: pg_jobmon (>= 1.3.2) extension (https://github.com/omniti-labs/pg_jobmon)
