You can do that. But with GlusterFS and Dovecot you don't need to. You can mount read/write the same GlusterFS share on all the mail servers. Dovecot will usually add the hostname of the delivering system into the maildir file name. As long as the delivery is collision free in terms of file names then you can scale up as many read/write nodes you like.
This has the same problems as with NFS (assuming the servers aren't only delivering mails, without updating index files). http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS
Except that NFS is not so flexible as GlusterFS. In GlusterFS I can replicate, stripe, aggregate, etc... All things that I can't do with NFS.
