You may still be able to do it. The tcprules .cdb file is generated/updated
atomically, so why not share a single copy of it among your SMTP servers?
Have relay-ctrl share a directory across the POP3 servers, putting their
entries in a common directory, and updating the same .cdb file. Then it should
work fine, no matter how the connections get distributed. Of course, there's
slightly higher risk due to having the NFS server which hosts this
directory and .cdb file as a single point of failure.
