Thanks for your answer, i have another if it's no problem for U.
What about MultipleAuth in Dovecot 1.0. Can i make something like
this?:

auth default {
  mechanisms = plain

  passdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot-sql-1.conf
  }
  passdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot-sql-2.conf
  }

  userdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot-sql-1.conf
  }
  userdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot-sql-2.conf
  }

}
And in dovecot-sql-1.conf set 
host = dbserver1, 
in dovecot-sql-2.conf set 
host = dbserver2

And when dovecot 1.0 (stable) is planed ?
