Hello,
I am currently investigating the possibility of adding a second cyrus server,
the goal being to entirely duplicate the mailspool/userbase and have users POP
in some sort of balanced means, either DNS load balancing or otherwise. We
have a pool of inbound MX servers that handle email, delivering to Cyrus over
lmtp. In the event of a crash, we would want to repair/rebuild the dead server
and have it re-join the pairing.
I have read on this list's archives that having user interaction on two
replicated servers is iffy, and I wonder what the point is, or is there
alternative documentation/methods I should be considering to do this. If it is
true that popping email off of two servers set up in replication is a bad idea,
I wonder what the point of it really is?
Thanks,
R.
