I think the initial request was for SQL-Ledger.  That might work
though.  It would probably be better to set up some sort of VPN
though.

One simple option is a shell script like such:

dropdb -h $EXTERNAL_HOST -U postgres $SL_DATASET
createdb -h $EXTERNAL_HOST -U postgres $SL_DATASET
pg_dump -h $INTERNAL_HOST -U postgres $SL_DATASET | psql -U postgres
-h $EXTERNAL_HOST $SL_DATASET

Set the appropriate variables and set up a .pgpass file, run it at
midnight via cron.

Hope this helps,
