Well if you are peering, you are correct. My thought was that you wanted a "backup" mail server and was looking for a common Mailbox store or a way to duplicate the mailbox store.
Peering does not have any benefit in the way of hotfail or spares. However you can still technically store mailboxes from both servers on a shared filer.

Craig. Craig, I just read my reply from Ipswitch Tech support regarding peered servers dated today at 11:30 AM and as I understand it, they said you can't do that. With peered servers "Users will need to know which server their mail account resides on so that they can setup their mail client and web browser to point to the right server." Ipswitch I thought you are limited to setting up another server which will operate only in the case of a failover condition but both servers cannot share the same storage simultaneously. Peered servers can operate simultaneously and forward mail to other servers but again, they don't share the same storage. Please let me know if I got that correct.
