Ah, OK - I thought you meant that you needed a clone at specific intervals. You can use Slony (www.slony.info) to do this. A couple of caveats, however:

(i) If you use the 1.* version (the only currently stable version), you can't use pg_dump to dump from the slaves - this is because Slony 1.* rewrites the system catalogues in strange ways. :-)

(ii) Slony 2.0 (currently at RC1) does allow you to get a consistent dump from the slaves, but you need to be running PostgreSQL 8.3 or later.
