Since I plan to split dovecot and postfix on 2 different servers but want to be able to use anyone of them back to run both postfix and dovecot if one of them crash, I plan to put indexes and control files on NFS.
Another solution would be to DNS round-robin on 2 servers runing dovecot but I think I've read on the dovecot wiki that it wasn't a good idea. Instead, I understood that I could use the IMAP proxy to send the same user on the same server.
However, I wonder if it's not overkill since once the client has resolved the name, the TCP connexion has no reason to change ? But some clients open more than one connexion for one user. That can be a problem I guess...
