You can either truncate it on the destination db every so often, then
dump / restore the data back into it, drop it and restore it, write a
simple replication script that looks for missing / updated rows, or
my suggestion, set up replication with slony and be done with it. Of
course, you don't mention if you need one or two way synchronization,
which makes a big difference in how you choose to do things.
