Hi Umar,
I've read quite a few posts on failover setups with drbd and heartbeat. It should work. On some digging I got these ..

Hi fyd, thank you for replying. the info you gave me is really helpful. There something i don't get. let say if i want to do multi-server architecture, is it necessary to have separate MTA and LDAP server? can i put MTA, LDAP and Mailstore in both server?
