You're completely correct, this is the kind of system I'm building and others have had in production use (see the thread on clusters, GFS and HA, for instance - begins at http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg30675.html (couldn't open the official info-cyrus archive)). So you /can/ run Cyrus on multiple servers accessing the same mailboxes database. Just don't use BDB. Don't even compile it in.
It's a shame that apparently the only true HA/LB cluster appears to have been done with Veritas cluster. Actually, we're hoping to get away from VxFS/VxVM and use ZFS. Not that VxFS/VxVM are bad products, but they can be a bear to manage.
