But a question out of curiosity: can the Director be configured to redirect userA to private IP #.#.#.# when connecting from a local subnet, but connect them to Public IP ##.##.##.##.## when accessing remotely? I don't know enough about routing to answer this myself... but if it is possible, then I could minimize traffic on the inter-office link - but there really is not enough remote traffic to worry about this too much I think.
Yes, there are some ways to do this. Although you would most likely want Dovecot proxy without director feature enabled.
Timo, state above that this 'describes a design'... does this mean that this is doable right now? Which of the following terms would you use to describe it at this point in time?
Potentially problematic
Not finished yet, so closest to this. :) I'm planning on making our own mails use this within a few weeks (currently it's a dsync in crontab every 5 minutes).
Cool, it sounds like it may be safe to set this up then in say 2 or 3 months? Since I'll most likely be contracting with your company to help with this, I'll wait and see what you say once we're ready to roll this out - and maybe you'll be willing to give us a deal on the implementation and/or support costs if we're willing to serve as guinea pigs. ;)
Possibly. :)
