One way of acheiving this would be to allow the PGHOST and/or PGPORT
variables to be lists and when you connect it tries each combination
until it finds on that works. Maybe not as clean but a lot easier to
implement.
Unless ofcourse you want "psql -l" to list all databases in all
clusters...
I think it would be better to put the intelligence into libpq rather
than trying to create more servers...
Have a nice day,
