At one of the places I worked, we had several LPARS and each one of these had its own master cat. Each mast cat was then connected as a user cat to the other masters and vice versa. When we created alias', we had to define each alias in each master. Also, when doing catalog work, you had to remember to disconnect the user cat from all masters then, when finished, re-connect it to all the masters.

No, by definition. >Could anyone please share your thoughts or idea. If I try to locate foo.bar, in which catalog do you want the system to look? Saying to use the alias for foo doesn't answer the question, because the system would still need to know in which catalog to find foo. You could try submitting a requirement for a STEPCAT[1] facility, but even were IBM to provide it you would need the master catalog in order to locate the specified STEPCAT.
