Finally I have do that (store indexes in local).

At this time, I've 4 servers with Dovecot (ldap, same uid,  
Maildir, ...) behind 2 Alteon with
filer (who do not permit to lock anything) to share mailboxs.

I've configured both Alteon to send same clients to same server (if  
are up ;-))
cause I don't know how mutch it cost to rebuild indexes

It seem working ...

Somebody here have already to something like that ?

Do yo know the cost of an indexes rebuild ?

Thanks,

Cyril
