Interesting, thanks. I'd forgotten to draw in the director ring.

As I said, if we need load balancing we can do that on the router, which
as I understand it will do more or less the same thing as LVS. It might
be Cisco SLB, but I'm not sure; I'm not the router guy :-)

But what interests me most is that your diagram shows the mx servers
connecting directly to the backend servers, rather than going through
the proxy director - I thought that was a no-no. Oh, and I don't think
we want to load down our front-end MX servers with amavis, either.

Thanks for your input :-)

Richard
