[Dovecot] Dovecot Director behaviour when two or more fail
Hi,
On the Dovecot wiki here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director it says the following:
"The directors are going to connect to each others in a ring. For example if you have servers called A, B and C, director will create connections A->B, B->C and C->A"
I am curious what happens in a scenario when two or more directors fail and potentially break a ring in half, do the active directors detect this and reform a new ring?

Directors always attempt to create the ring as fully as they can, doesn't matter how many servers die.
