Hi list

I wonder if this configuration could be real, and give some failover.

Server 1, running IMAIL ( C:\IMAIL ), all domains in External DB, all IMAIL
services running.

Server 2, with IMAIL, with same directory ( C:\IMAIL ) as Server 1. All
IMAIL services stopped.

Server 3, MS SQL Server, having all domains tables from 1.

Server 4, MS SQL Server, replicated from Server 3.

Situation:
All subdir under Server 1 ( IMAIL ), is replicated to Server 2 ( IMAIL )
from time to time.
All IMAIL Databases in Server 3 are replicated to Server 4 ( By SQL
itself ).

CRASH!!! Server 1 died.
a. Starting all mail serviced in 2.
b. Changing MX records from MX 1 to MX 2.
c. Is everyone happy ?

CRASH !!!! Server 3 died.
a. Point DSN to Server 4.
b. Is everyone happy ?

What do you think ? Is this config reliable ? Is failover ( with human
'touch' )
I mean......should work ???

Regards

Andres.-
