Tried it about a year ago for a week cc'ing my mail to a specific codaised
maildirs, and was intending to shift the ISP onto it. Upper management
wasn't too happy about a fleet of identical machines being able to handle
any http/pop3/smtp/squid request over two disparete physical locations,
and it was shelved. [1]

[1] Upper management weren't too cluey in the way of reliability, and
thankfully I've changed jobs, putting an end to such amusing things as
resoldering HDDs of primary (and only) mail/auth/web servers at silly
hours. ;)
