Maybe.  If you use the log shipping replication, you ought to be able
to do this (it's in 1.1, now in beta).  But this is _one way_,
understand: you can't have them changing data in the field, and
replicatiing it backwards (or rather, you can't do that on the same
table).

I'm not sure I understand this question.  Internally, it uses libpq,
so there shouldn't be any limits you don't already have; but it
doesn't do large objects, note.
