database clustering

Hello,
I am planning a postgres database cluster. Each database will be on it's own machine and I wanted to enable one as the frontend to the rest. This is so that applications do not need to know which database contains what data. Is there a way to configure postgres to communicate to other dbs via sql so as to be transparent to the user? I know this can be done in Oracle though I'd rather not go through that experience if I do not need to.

Thanks,

-Joe

Perhaps this is something that would benefit from the use of sql relay:

Very neat ideas, and might be another approach for your problem.

I have looked at this and this is not what I was looking for. Using this the application will need to figure out how to merge records. I was looking to be able to use something like the oracle syntax of host:database:schema:table within sql to service the queries.
