Well, I am sure you have some reason to setup a cluster. Is it for
failover / redundancy ? or is it for higher performance ? or is it to
distribute load geographically ? distribute load by service ?

You need to first work out what you want to do. What setup and howto set
it up will depend on what you are trying to achieve ( = what problem you
are trying to solve ). However, keep in mind that anything more than
small to small medium setups for mail storage usually end at Cyrus.

Hey Karanbir

I'm trying to achieve a simple fail over solution, for a small rural clinic, about 700KM's away, which we have sponsored, so there's no money involved and I can't afford / justify exchange (don't want to go the MS route in anycase), Zimbra or any of those.

For fail over on the webserver & samba, the heartbeat + rsync works well, but I don't know where to look for the email stuff. I don't need anything fancy, but a shared calendar & address book would be great. It's a 10 user network
