If the mail accounts were split across the servers in some sort of ordered
way, you could always write a _very_ small proxy for the front end that did
something similar to this:

1. If account name begins with a-f redirect to server 1, g-m to server 2
2. reissue the USER command to the appropriate server, and then pass the
response back to the client. from this point forward, the proxy just forward
things between the client and the server.
