Hi,
In fact you don't NEED a director. You can use two dovecot servers
sharing a NFS storage with a normal (backend) implementation. It's good
to see that page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS for some good recomendations.
You must have a base_dir for each instance of dovecot you want to run,
and a dovecot.conf as well. One could be director and other backend. I
suggest you have two separated configuration directories,
/etc/dovecot-director and /etc/dovecot-backend. Each with the respective
configuration. Start dovecot with "dovecot -c
/etc/dovecot-director/dovecot.conf". Backend is the same.
In order to help more, provide us more details about your environment
and doulbts.

Hello,
I am currently trying to setup a cluster of mail servers. I currently
have two servers I am trying to cluster together. These servers will also have
a shared NFS backend. I have read on the site that I will need to configure
director since I am using NFS. I have read through all of the documentation on
director but still need a little guidance to get things up and running. One of
the questions I have is about the base_dir on the Multiple Invocations section
of the wiki. It states that I will need to change the bas_dir to the new run
directory, not sure what needs to happen here, can anyone help me out?
