Rsync should be able to handle it pretty easily via cron job, but it would be nice if I can reliably take it to a lower level. For receiving external mail, I can simply list both (or more) of the mail servers with MX and let them sync each other. For joe internal user sending mail and accessing via IMAP, I would do an LVS or round-robin DNS style thing to get them to one of the servers. While I may have a brief interruption in the event of a server failure, thats acceptable at this point. -- David Hollis <dhollis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
