Hi!

While skimming throught the 2.3.7 changes, I found:

Changes to the Cyrus IMAP Server since 2.2.x

      * Added support for "unified" and "replicated" Murders. A Murder no
        longer has to have discrete frontend and backend servers; any one
        "unified" server can both proxy and serve local mailboxes (proxy
        functionality in proxyd and lmtpproxyd has been merged with imapd
        and lmtpd respectively), or all "replicated" servers can serve the
        same mailboxes from a shared filesystem. The new mupdate_config
        option in imapd.conf is used to determine whether a Murder is using
        a "traditional", "unified" or "replicated" configuration.

The part '... all "replicated" servers can serve the same mailboxes from a
shared filesystem' attracted my attention. Is this the LB that is reported not
to work with current murder/replication? Or is this something else?
