Len,
  How do you get IMGate? and what does it cost? and how does IMGate know the
full domainto add i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

no, DNS's mx records need to deliver mail to each server.

locationone.domain.com. MX 10 mx.locationone.domain.com
locationtwo.domain.com. MX 10 mx.locationtwo.domain.com

Imail SMTP peering will peer incoming mail only, not pop or web.  you will 
need separate hostnames for each imail server, as above.

with imail peering and 2 peers, 50% of the mail goes to the wrong box 
(bandwidth!), which must forward it to the good box (bandwidth!).

If big mailvolumes and bandwith are a major concern, you could put a mail 
routing box like IMGate at your ISP.   IMGate would have address re-writing 
and routing tables.

Internet sends mail to

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

for DNS:

domain.com. MX 10 imgate.domain.com.

... which would rewrite

[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and the reverse on outbound.
