For those that are worried about the md5 hash sending out most users to 1 server and thus loadbalancing badly. This doesnt seem to be the case. I just pointed one of our test webmail environments to a director cluster (2 director servers behind a foundry, pointing to 2 real imap servers), and this is what the load spread was after a few minutes:
imapdirector1:/usr/home/cor# doveadm director status mail server ip vhosts users 194.109.26.171 100 698 194.109.26.172 100 701
It doesnt get any better. It looks like Timo's choice of hash is spot on.

Cor
