They have used a setup like this at demon.nl. You need to look at the localhost_number setting which prevents multiple Exim's from generating clashing message IDs. It's an expanded string, so you can set it based on your hostname (say) in order to keep otherwise identical configurations on each Exim. You should also ensure that $spool_directory/db is unique per host, because of locking problems (it would cause a cluster-wide bottleneck, and in any case distributed locking protocols are good to avoid).
