Hi, I am seeking for a solution for having several SMTP/POP servers on different network locations, the problem is the following, we actually have one SMTP/POP server with MX backup to another server, ok this solution is ok for some scenarios but when the main SMTP/POP server goes down (it does not happen to much fortunately) the email is not lost but no one can access they email, and this tends to annoy people, is there any possibilty of having some kind of mirrored file system over the network so when one of the servers goes down the DNS would point them to the other IP (using the round robin dns feature or whatever) and people could download email?. I have read about file system mirroring over NFS but it looks like something in development than a mature solution. Thanks.
