[imp] multiple IMP front ends?

[John H. Yates]

Has anyone implemented IMP on multiple front ends to distribute load
(and also for redundancy). We already have it running on one machine
pointing it to IMAP mail folders on another machine.

Does IMP have any built in "hooks" for doing multiple front ends like
this? We would like to use the round robin DNS lookup feature that
alternately points to two (or more) machines making the fact that
there are multiple machines transparent to the end user.

Will this be problematic because of the statelessness of the web? If
so, can that be surmounted?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated on the feasibility
of this.

Thanks, John
