Postgres has nothing quite like the MySQL cluster mode with NDB.  You
will have to re-think your solution if you want to use postgres to
distribute your queries and data across multiple servers.

To decide what is the best solution for replication in postgres you
need to define exactly what you mean by "clustering" and "failover",
and what your acceptable downtime is, etc.
