 In other words, can I set up a separate database (e.g. MySQL)
 that qmail can access for account information?
 
 I note that qmail has /var/qmail/users/assign, but it references
 both UID's and GID's, which are maintained by /etc/passwd.
 
 I am setting up 2 clustered systems that will use shared storage
 (non NFS) to maintain each user's Maildir, and would rather not
 have to worry about keeping 2 separate system's passwd files in
 sync.

qmail-ldap does this, and it contains native clustering code.
