It's not clear what your environment is and what 'closer to the db
server' means in this context (multiple pgbouncers?), but I would lean
towards having a single pgbouncer instance on a central VM, as it means
less things to keep track of. There can be advantages to having multiple
pgbouncers close to the db, but which is best ultimately depends on your
layout, usage pattern, network speeds, etc.
