That seems right, yes.

The cluster-specific stuff resides in the _clustername namespace, so
there's no reason why you couldn't have a particular database
participating in multiple clusters.

I don't think anyone has tried it, so you may uncover new ground, and
new problems.

What I would be concerned about is that this provides more
opportunities for locks/blocks/deadlocks as you'll have more slon
processes connecting in concurrently.

I guess I haven't thought of a case yet where it would "seem wise" to
do this.
