Hi,

in the past I did some consulting for ISPs with 4-5mln mailboxes, they 
had "only" 6 Director and about 30 or more Dovecot backend.

About NFS, I had some trouble with Maildir, Director and NFSv4, I don't 
know if was a problem of client (Debian 6) or storage (NetApp Ontap 8.1) 
but with NFSv3 work fine. Now we should try again with Centos 6/7 and 
NFSv4.1.
