Really the best way I know would be with a NAS or SAN solution, that being
an external disk array that both
mail servers utilize for the spool. In that way they are both using the same
disk and nothing gets lost if mail goes
to the backup server, or even to both in a normal cluster situation. Speed
would be the big issue, thus Gigabit Fibre Channel
solutions are generally the best. Like having a dedicated Gigabit LAN just
for the disk traffic with no overhead from computers talking, as you would
using an NFS solution. Sun makes some nice drives 'Sun Storedge' that arent
too pricey
Via Ebay for instance.
