The problem is I am very concerned about scalability with having a

So it would appear that this is a broken solution and will not
scale. Has
anyone designed a similar system or have ideas to share?
One resource you may want to look at is Joe Conway's site:
http://www.joeconway.com/
He has a PDF available for download that may help you accomplish this:
OSCON 2004 presentation: Flexible Data Acquisition and Analysis
Joe's an active member of the PostgreSQL community and there's a lot
of good stuff there.
Hope this helps.
