Instead of having to deal with issues of splitting data across multiple
servers and all the associated pain, why not take a look at the Linux
Virtual Server project, http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/
I don't know for sure that Postgres will run on it, but the beauty if it
did is that you can keep adding more servers as you need more horsepower
(maybe?).
