I'm not real clear on what exactly you're trying to accomplish. If
you're just trying to replicate un-related data from a few different
servers into a single database server, no big deal: I think several
popular asynchronous replication tools (Slony, etc.) will do that for
you.
If, on the other hand, you have several systems recording related data
(i.e. ultimately writing to the same tables on your "main database",
or tables related to each other), and you've got to somehow resolve
any conflicts between what Servers A and B claim, then you've got more
of a mess on your hands. See e.g.
