The problem I see is with reaching the webmail application on a server that's down (round-robin DNS is one solution, but not fully fault-tolerant) as well as replication of the mail data itself between multiple servers in the case one goes down. I used to use drbd or even NFS, but I figured there was something more reliable, and had less overhead and complexity with some type of cloud software. So essentially, I guess my question boils down to how can I provide redundancy for the webmail application and for the mail data that it accesses?
