We have 2 web servers that are clustered together. They are both set to
Eastern since that is the timezone they are located in.
So:
JDBC Web servers(US/East) <---> 90 database (5 different timezones)
Therefore everything to the end user is passed through the Web servers?
Is there a reason why the databases have different timezones?
Seems to me less complicated to have all the databases share the UTC
timezone. Then you only have one offset, US/East <--> UTC.

Yes I think it sanest to have servers use GMT*, as then it is simple
enough to convert results to whatever local time zone the client is in.
I live in New Zealand, and we are offset from GMT about 12 hours (depend
on seasonal adjustments). Have no problem getting query results using
my local time zone automatically. - regardless of whether I query from
the database box or another, using psql!

*UTC or whatever it is currently fashionable to call it! :-)
