But what it sounds like you're saying is that there's no good way to
run dovecot so that if the single server it's on fails I can keep
service availability?
If you have 2 dovecot servers with your mailboxes stored on a SAN
(over NFS), you can front your 2 dovecot machines with a load balancer
like UltraMonkey (LHA/Heartbeat).
Would this mean I would configure two identical dovecot systems, and
point them both at the same SAN space? (so instead of having a
"clustered" environment both instances of dovecot are just using
shared filespace?) Isn't there a risk there of both dovecot
instances writing a file/email with the same filename?
(and I presume also have my user mysql config also stored and shared
on the SAN between the two servers?).
