Hello!

I'm using James 3.0-beta3 with maildir, and I'm looking for a efficient method to perform load balancing of various SMTP servers.
This is my scenario:
For the email domain mydomain.com exist many MX records: mxA.mydomain.com, mxB.mydomain.com, ...
Every MX record corresponds to a SMTP server:

mxA.mydomain.com  ==> SMTP server on hostA
mxB.mydomain.com  ==> SMTP server on hostB

All emails incoming on all SMTP servers are stored on a unique maildir repository. Until now I used maildir on a share file system (NFS), but now I'm having several problems with the reliability. The idea now (how Norman suggest me in a previous thread) is to write on the same activemq queue which dispatch the mails and deliver it to the maildir.
So, the scenario becomes:

James on hostA => use James anbedded activemq
James on hostB => use activemq on hostA
James on hostC => use activemq on hostA
...


What do you think about? Could you please provide me some suggestions (or some documents) about how to configure James (james-server-context.xml file) on hostA and hostB? Is it possible to use on hostA the "embedded version" of activemq? How I can configure hostB to use it? Wath about camel?

Thanks in advance,

Nicola
