That's not "mirroring", it's known as "multi-master replication".
Mirroring is generally considered single-master => single-slave. Or
duplicate queries perhaps.

I don't know of any plug-and-play system either. Some support for
two-phase commit was added recently and I believe Slony might be
supporting multi-master in its next version.

Having said that, I'm not aware of any generic solution (for any RDBMS)
that can handle all the permutations of peoples requirements. It might
be that you can assemble something that meets your needs - can you share
any details about how/why you intend to use this?
