Hi All

I have a dovecot cluster with directror and two IMAP Servers behind.

Since they are in geographical different locations I would like to have users 
to go to a specific IMAP backend server (if both are up) and only switch to the 
other if one goes down (failover).

As to my current knowledge the PassDB extra field „host=„ is not suitable in 
this case as it would never route the client to a different backend, even if 
the „user specific backend“ would be down.

Is their a way in dovecot to achive this? As far as I searched the 
documentation I could not find any information on this so far.

If not, it may also help if I could get certain users to „initially" go to a 
specific backend (since director usually routes a client/user to the same 
backend server it initially connects) and therefore it would be interesting to 
know how dovecot director chooses wether a user goes to server1 or server2?
And if a client already gets to server2, how to bring it „back“ to server1?

thanks in advance,
Steven
