The FDW is a PostgreSQL extension to connect to other server from
PosgreSQL server inside, with this solution you only need connections
from P to S and no need a third server (external server), just use
triggers to push the INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE information you want to
replicate from P to S through Foreign Data Wrapper.
If you need integrity on the replicated information then I suggest to
use a control table to store the actions to replicate for the case when
it fails you can keep trying til the action succeeds.
