Has anyone done anything like this in production?
Are you using NFS or some other shared filesystem? Then you should probably use the new director service in v2.0: http://blog.dovecot.org/2010/05/new-director-service-in-v20-for-nfs.html It doesn't support automatic failover yet either, but it's much easier to implement to it.
