mirroring just user accounts, for starters. Mirroring account data
reliably involves other stuff (like, for example, one approach is to
store the email in a database and get it replicated across different
servers or clusters). Some pretty large clustered solutions (like
InterMail from openwave.com) use this approach - but it is not the
easiest way to go about it.
And the possibility/severity of that is no more than, say, a catchall
account.
Which is a reason why we tend to discourage our clients from advertising
that as a feature for their users.
Exactly the kind of setup we have for a client, except that the LDAP
database also holds the Unix and Samba account information. We are
working on rolling out an AFS or Coda [or even Unison] based solution
which will also mirror user's data across sites so that they will
roaming "profiles" over different locations. The locations are all
within the NCR and people travel to different sites frequently.
If the locations are within the NCR you just might prefer to maintain
the email centrally and use imap
Site separation is a requirement - no single points of failure.
