rename folder problem with 2.4.4

If I reconfigure my backend mailstore to remove the murder configuration 
(so that it thinks it's a stand alone server), the rename works, so I 
think it must have something to do with my imapd.conf files and the way 
my backend servers communicate with my murder server.

I'm trying to build a configuration that looks like:

Multiple backend servers who have lots of disk storage for storing email 
folders
A single murder server
Multiple frontend servers running as imap and lmtp proxy's, where the 
email clients actually connect to.

Anyone willing to share their imapd.conf files for such a configuration?
