As someone else mentioned, pg_pool might help here. But you're kind of
fighting an uphill battle here. I'm guessing that your effort will be
better spent on upgrading your db server than on trying to patch up the
system you have.
Is there any chance of changing your client app so it doesn't open so
many connections? That would seem the easiest fix of all, if you have
access to that code.
