Its possible. Make sure you understand that you're doing this for the shared namespace though, otherwise you almost certainly want a more traditional IMAP proxy like perdition. Note that the murder was never intended to work in a geographicly distributed fashion. There may be lurking bugs/performance issues (though based on how it actually works, I don't expect this). > I see the current problem where the single server located at the colocation > place will somehow need to act as front end and back end server at the same > time, is that somehow possible ? Yes. Ken debugs complete murder configurations on a single laptop. Of course, I don't recommend it (now you're costing yourself 2 IMAP processes per connection on that machine instead of 1) > Or shouldn't I even think about such a setting up a Cyrus murder > environement with so less servers. What do you think about this setup ? I think you should be sure Murder is what you want before you jump into it. It solves a very special problem that most people don't have. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski | Andrew Systems Group * Research Systems Programmer PGP:0x5CE32FCC | Cyert Hall 207 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 412.268.7456 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK---- Version: 3.12 GCS/IT/CM/PA d- s+: a-- C++++$ ULS++++$ P+++$ L+++(++++) E W+ N o?
