dblink questions

What's the best way to create a connection with dblink with persisted connections with web applications?

For example:

I want to have a view that links to a table in another pg database so I can mask the connection and make it easier to query.

so I would do this ...

create view myremote_pg_proc as
select *
from dblink('myconnection','select proname, prosrc from pg_proc')
as t1(proname name, prosrc text);

so I can do this ...

select * from myremote_pg_proc where proname like 'bytea%';

I understand that a connection can be made by dblink_connect(text connstr) and
dblink_connect(text connname, text connstr), but how do you suggest making the first connection from a web application?

select dblink('myconnection','127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=template1 user=postgres password=mypasswd')

Do you suggestion not using the persistent connection? and do this?

create view myremote_pg_proc as
select *
from dblink('myconnection','127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=template1 user=postgres password=mypasswd','select proname, prosrc from pg_proc')
as t1(proname name, prosrc text);

Thanks a Bunch,
