I see no advantage to this, and at least two disadvantages: - Transferring the message body now involves the network instead of a UNIX-domain socket. - If one machine is down, the milter will hang or fail. If instead, you use two self-contained Sendmail/MIMEDefang boxes publised as equal-weighted MX records, senders will fall back on the good box if one goes bad.
