That's another reason why we replicate the Policyd database. This way,
both MX-es share the same information.

If I can replicate the database (which I can), I don't have a need for a
multicast feature or something alike.
Also, I'm not sure what is more effective: the box may have other
functionality that requires a database (like some Postfix configuration
that is managed web-based) which you also might want to replicate across
your MX-es.
