Wow, talk about timing... this looks like a perfect answer to my previous question about setting up two servers in two different locations to serve two different sets of users locally...
Yeah, I was delaying answering it until I posted this.
Looks like it wouldn't really matter which server they connected to externally, as any changes would simply be replicated.
Well, preferably users would connect to the same server. If both servers have done changes at the same time, there can be some temporary (possibly user-visible) confusion.

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).
