[Keen to do the same thing.] I guess those two Dovecot instances
could run either on (a) the same machine, or (b) different machines -
though using a network-visible mail storage location.
Does this dual-Dovecot solution become problematic if the mail storage
location is NFS? I'm aware of the cautions regarding NFS access from
two different machines (case (b), here). If these two Dovecot
instances were on the same machine (case (a)) but which nevertheless
used an NFS mail storage location, would we then also hit the NFS
dual-access problem from this single machine running the two instances?
