I am considering setting up a second QMT server using Jake's replicated 
server tutorial.  These servers will be in two different cities for 
maximum redundancy.  If I remember correctly, Jake mentioned setting up 
DNS round robin to balance the two QMT servers.

My question is this:  Is DNS better for load balancing, or would it be 
better to utilize a load balancing program like 'balance' 
(http://www.inlab.de/balance.html) ?  Or does it really make a 
difference for this application.  I would be balancing IMAP (993) / SMTP 
(25) / POP3 (110).

Thanks,

Scott
