Hi Friends
I am facing an issue with dovecot configuration and i am describing it in a nutshell.
We have a dovecot setup under ultramonkey load balancer and in loadbalancer we have a check defined for pop service which queries mysqldatabase for a particular user name/password after every 2 minutes to check if service is live or not.. Things are fine till here . Now The catch is if somehow that particular user info(either password or username) is mistakenly changed in mysql database whole of my pop gets down beacuse load balancer cant login and that is a single point of failure in my setup .
Now what i want is I want to know if there is any method that i can setup in dovecot to lookup for a user locally first and then go for a remote search for the user( ie in mysql database) So that we get the user searched locally before querying the mysql database Local + mysql database authetication i want to be in parallel with each other.
Please show some light on this .
Thanks and Regards Parth Monga
