No.. If you're using file-based bayes, there's no good way to share updates between one DB and the other. The information needed to make such a merger successful isn't stored, because it is not needed for any reason within SpamAssassin. The database merely stores the token, it's spam count, it's nonspam count, and a last-seen timestamp. If you look at the same token in 2 different databases, you can't really merge these counts, because you don't know how many occurred since your last merge. If you really want common bayes data between two servers, you should configure bayes to use a SQL server (MySQL, etc) and point both SpamAssassin configurations to the same database. This also has the benefit that both servers are continuously in-sync.
