I think that, for redundancy, you need to have a common file server / database server for each iMS server to use. You may also want webmail (web server) on the same server as the file server. Here are some additional notes for each server:
Pop: Requires only access to the file server and database server. You may want to split users up between the two servers. Post Requires only access to the file server. If you are using Smart Delivery then it also needs access to the database server. Each Post server requires a separate queue folder on the file server. If one server goes down then you only need to copy the queue files to the other folder. SMTP Requires access to the file server and database server. SMTP Servers should store messages in separate folders but you can use a common folder if required. SMTP servers should both have an MX record with the same priority.
