It's been advised against doing this, do a search through the mailing
list archives. There is an issue with IMAP message id's (not
auto-increment fields) so some new messages wont be shown on the
logged-in imap clients. Might be ok for mostly POP3 installs or for low
usage. How many messages per day is this setup storing? What happens
when one server starts to lag with the updates?

The clashes in the headername table rings alarm bells for me. If your
setup starts to get under stress or has a lot of concurrent requests
these problems will escalate. If you're going to use master-master
replication setup, just use ucarp or heartbeat and only have one server
active. It will save you headaches down the track.
