I read the documentation on replication and am interested in trying it.
I have several servers that run a single domain, but are using
virtdomain anyway.  I would like to have one virtdomain replica server
that serves as a hot spare to all of these servers.  In other words
server A would replicate domain A mailboxes to the replica and server B
would replicate domain B to the replica.  If server A fails then I could
bring up the replica server for domain A but not domain B (just by not
pointing domain B to the replica server).  Is this possible?

Thanks,
