If you are doing load sharing between machines. then your best bet is to use
the ucspi-mysql.patch That was released about 2 weeks ago.. This allows you
to look off a Mysql TABLE instead of using the CDB file.. (I have ran into
many problems with my machines.. Doing DNS load balancing for SMTP) I was
running into NFS file locking problems when I implemented the POP3 to SMTP
authenication.
