Thanks to all who have supplied additional details on the functionality of James on this matter. It has been very helpful.
I would like to share another scenario with you. I currently have two load balanced servers running SMTP (not James), the servers share a virtual IP. My custom email application is configured with the virtual IP as it's SMTP address. This allows me to continue to send email from the application, as long as one server is functional. The questions I asked earlier where related to this scenario. I would like to replace the SMTP service that I am currently running with James, to take advantage of the JDBCAlias mailet. Thinking through the scenario I have presented, it looks like I confused the issue by using the term clustering. Taking a deeper look at the situation makes me realize that clustering does not really come into play. By running two separate instances of James (each with identical configurations) I can achieve the results I desire.
