Another question about MUPDATE server

Greeting again,

I would have another question concerning MUPDATE.  The white-paper on
Cyrus imapd Murder hinted about the possibility(1) of having your MUPDATE
server replicating.  If it is available, I would like to replicate the
MUPDATE server for both scalability and automatic failover, somewhat
like what is possible with OpenLDAP using slurpd.  Is this part of Cyrus
imapd current distribution or planned for future developpement ?

(1) As seen on http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/ag.html, section 3.1 :
"The MUPDATE master server will be able to handle the load from the
front end and back end servers. Scaling the MUPDATE master server to a
large collection of clients is yet not considered, but as the MUPDATE
protocol allows for slave server to act as replicas, it is theoretically
possible to reduce the load of read operatons against the master to a
very low level."

Regards,
