Re: Multiple backends with NFSv4.1 (supports file locking): should work without Director, right?

Hi Dovecot community,

We're looking at running multiple Dovecot backend servers in parallel, all using the same shared NFSv4.1 mount to store mailboxes in the maildir format.

Just my experience, you can use multi-IMAP proxy in front of the real IMAP server which has powerful hardware like strong CPU, big ram, fast disk and high throughput networks.

b/c IMAP proxy can offload the clients' connections, and reduce the connection number to backend server (the real IMAP server) via long-live connections, it should optimize a lot on performance of the whole cluster.

Thanks.
