I will have 2 Postfix/Dovecot servers. Each will be configured to use a
central database and will also use an NFS mount for mail storage. Since
they will both be configured with central storage, I can use my
load-balancer to distribute load between both of them, for both SMTP and
IMAP, correct?
As for the nfs server, this will be set up with DRBD as per this article:
http://www.tutorialsconnect.com/2009/01/how-to-setup-a-redundant-nfs-server-with-drbd-and-heartbeat-in-centos-5/
/
There will be 2 VM used for this.
I did not follow the entire discussion but, do you need NFS at all if you only
have 2 servers?
Couldn't you just use DRBD directly on the Postfix/Dovecot servers?

JD, excellent idea! Don't know how I didn't think of that!
While your idea would work in HA mode, would that cause any problems if
both postfix servers were used at the same time? (i.e. load balanced)
