    Wow, that's a lot of nodes. I wonder if and why so many are necessary in
    your case? We have a HA cluster using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and its
    Cluster Suite. There are just two nodes and only one is active at a time
    (the other handles other jobs, though). We also use LVS but only for SMTP
    and virus scanning (running on four nodes). We have roughly 40,000 accounts
    and this one server handles them all quite well. Usually I/O is the
    limiting factor for Cyrus, and that's where our SAN infrastructure is
    invaluable.

    Cheers, Sebastian Hagedorn
