Make sure you have round-robin turned on in your DNS, assuming
that both POP servers have the same name.
If that doesn't work, bother half your users and have them change
their settings to point to the second machine.
I don't see what is saved by this arrangement, over having all
the users connect directly to the machine with the mailboxes:
all you gain is complexity and additional possible points of failure.
NFS isn't free, those packets need to get read off the disk and
written to the LAN just the same as if the MUA connects directly.
