I do not believe that the standard package of PostgreSQL support anything that allows you to
distribute your database across various servers.  However there are some contrib package that do
this in various ways, depending upon what you want.

If you want create a schema that is distributed across various databases you have the following
choices:
dblink, for postgres to postgres connection
dbi-link, for postgres to anything else.

For replication:

you have slony, etc. al.
