Dear ASSP community

First of all thank you for your great product. I is really amazing what ASSP 
can do fighting against spam. Because I'm not a skilled database administrator 
I just want to ask if my current setup has a chance to work stable.

My Environment:

I have to two windows 2008 x64 servers in my DMZ running ASSP 2.0 with MySQL 
5.1. On this two server (ns1 and ns2) there is also the MS SMTP service 
running. In my LAN there is a MS Exchange 2007 which is using the two servers 
NS1 and NS2 as smart hosts. The MX record of the two ASSP Servers is equal 
weighted so both servers get mails from the internet in parallel. The Exchange 
server itself also uses both ASSP Servers to send mails to the internet 
(alternating order).

Internet -> ASSP -> SMTP -> Exchange

or the other way

Exchange -> ASSP -> SMT Exchange

Up to here the base setup works so far but seems not be stable. After running 
some time (about a day) the ASSP service on Windows hangs. I assume this is 
because of my setup described below.

It is my wish to setup ASSP for redundancy and load balancing. So I'm trying to 
setup ASSP with a Master-Master SQL backend (I know this is not officially 
supported for this product) so that both servers always know about blocked 
IP's, white list, spam db and so on from each other and can also actively add 
their records.

If you are interested in this scenario please have a look at this great manual 
found here: 
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/04/20/advanced-mysql-replication.html

The used MySQL servers on my scenario are exactly configured as described in 
the manual above. The ASSP on NS1 is using the MySQL on NS1 and the ASSP on NS2 
is using the MySQL on NS2 as its database server.

This works great for the whitelist for example because there should be never 
the situation that both ASSP Servers try to add the same whitelist record. So 
every ASSP server knows also about the added whitelist records from the other 
server because of MySQL replication and both servers are able to add their 
records as needed.

However with the spam db for example I can see that after some time the MySQL 
records are not identical  any more. I assume that conflicting records must me 
the reason for this. The same is true for blocked IP's and so on.

Would it be possible to address this scenario in ASSP?

Some more information or some help would be appreciated.

best regards
Marco
