cyrus-IMAP cluster

[Lee]

We use drbd and heartbeat on the backend mail servers (active/passive, 
data is real time replicated from active->passive). Has worked very 
reliably for several years, however it is not the most clean solution. 
I've heard / read bad things about GFS based shared storage (cyrus wiki 
actually has a section on it).

Apple just released their Xsan product though, seems like it might be a 
good solution.
