Long,
I think that what Len was suggesting earlier is that there's no reason to
use the peering feature to do what you're trying to do. In fact, peering
sort of is "undone" by what you are doing. Peering tells Imail to look on
alternate physical servers for logically local accounts. But you've set up
both physical servers to have all of the accounts physically local, so
peering will never actually be invoked. Make any sense? It's meant to
split a user database across servers, which you are not actually
doing--you're replicating.
As far as downtime, well, you'd have to use some kind of load balancer on
the outside for that.
