While these can be handled at higher level, for example, by setting 
up LDAP or as Hekki suggested, tricking DNS, the problem is that 
I don't have control of how the user connect to the server.  They 
may not use LDAP.  Solution like pgbouncer has advantages.  User
just get one ip/port and everything else happens automatically.

Thanks,
