Thanks rob 
i'm very surprised that there is not really official point from cyrus-imap dev team against using cyrus in cluster active/active mode 
Since serverals years the messaging service become very important and the clustering system is the right way to provide a real fail over system 
After googlize i had read that  the only best method is to using drbd but there no really wikis and documentations about implementing this kind of structure.

I would like to restart this topic and discuss.
