I'm heavily editing here, but are you REALLY saying you want a queue
shared between different sites which:

So your sites are:
1) seperated by great distance, which rules out any SAN or NAS
2) Connected by questionable data links, which may suffer from low
performance or occassional downtime.
So, because of the distance, you'll need to use a networked
filesystem like NFS, AFS, etc. But networked filesystems are designed for
LAN environments where performance is reasonable and link downtime is rare.
If you attempt to share your queue (or your mail store) like this, you are
guaranteeing that performance and reliability will suffer.

You don't want a solution to your problem, you want an
implementation for your solution. But your proposed solution is suboptimal
to say the least.
Why don't you state the problem instead?
