You mean "the secondary has esmtproutes set to the primary" ?
Yes, of course, that's what I meant. :) thanks.
Incidentally, another component of my system which I did not mention
involves very low (2-minute) TTLs set on all my hosted domains, so
that the canonical names for www and pop3 clients point to the
currently active primary machine. It remains to be seen how well
this works for failover in practice.
Yes, I'm looking to experiment with the name serving aspect also...
And your authentication? I'm also switching to LDAP (Active Driectory)
in all this, so I have a bit to learn there.
It appears from the doc's I can go with
1. local, aliasing all the "non-local" users to the other server, or
2. local, but tweaking the LDAP query to provide server info within the
delivery. i.e. /var/maildirs/server1/username1/Maildir
and /var/maildirs/server2/username2/Maildir
3. hosteddomains, similiar to 2. but I think this will change the login
account to user...@server1.domain.com, no?
(I haven't researched the above, yet, so I apologize for any
inaccuracies.. no doubt some kind person will correct me. :-)
