Hi all!

I want build scalable mail system, using cyrus imap server. I think what in
future i need more than just one IMAP server
(i don't talk now about smtp servers) and i guess what Murder is a great
software for this case!
But nowadays i have only 1 computer for mail project, and i want advice
about my behaviour...

Can i setup Cyrus (lastest version from CVS with virtual domain support +
lastest SASL) on 1 server... and later, for example,
after year add 2 servers: 1-frontend, 2-another backend, and leave old
server as other backend?
Do i have any trouble with this case?

Another choice is setup both frontend and backend on one server, but in this
case for 1 connection server will handle 2 processes:
client <-> frontend <-> backend.

I hope what first variant is the rigth way, i'm rigth?

Thanks!
