you may use loadbalancers i.e (keepalived etc) and/or
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/FeatLoginProxy

look the list for cluster setups etc
reading your former post
you want to use many outdated prog versions dont do that
a san for storage might be a good choice
some of the list use drbd with ocfs2
and other cluster filesystems
