My company have 36 dovecots, one biggest ISP in country 3 million user, agree with Nick poster, we had stop use dovecot load balance because too bad effect on primary database, now use single localhost, we have script run every 30 second to test login, if fail sleep 30 second, try again, fail and down ethernet interface so hardware load balancer see server not answer and can not use, nagios soon tell us of problem, very very bad and stupid way, but only option is safe, we have look at alternative to dovecot for this and still look, not happy with unreliable softwares to immitate feature.
big network mean big time locate and fix problem when arise so you be good to say no extra point of failure. Too many cog in chain eventually lead to problem.

Well, since you are so big, and really need this feature in your large COMMERCIAL environment, maybe you should step up and PAY Timo to implement it?
Comments like this really piss me off.
