that's strange, there are several good pages on the web; there is also
my mini-howto:

PgBouncer is a connection pooler. I wonder why do you want to use it,
if you don't know what it is?
it can help in many ways, two most obvious points:
- reduce number of postgres backends (more resources for the server)
- reduce cost of single connection from the application to postgres

yes there are some; see
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling
it depends on what you need. pgbouncer is the smallest and most
lightweight pooler available.
