I've used Slony to do this kind of thing with great success in the past.
The biggest advantage of slony is that you can install it without stopping the
DB server, wait patiently while it takes however long is needed to synch up
the two servers without having much impact (if any) on operations, then switch
over when you're ready. The disadvantage to Slony is that the setup/config is
a bit involved.
