Hi, I'm working on setting up replication for our (FastMail.FM) new servers.
One issue I've run in to is that our machines are set up as follows: 10.*: imap<$n>.internal 66.111.4.*: imap<$n>.messagingengine.com Now we can argue all we like about whether the IMAP servers should have an external network connection at all (it's pretty heavily firewalled, but for various hysterical reasons I can't cut their direct outside connection just yet. So - I'd very much prefer config_servername to contain imap<$n>.messagingengine.com since that's what the world sees on the connection string - but when I do that, backend_connect binds the _source_ of its TCP connections to the external IP address, despite being asked to make a connection to another 10.* address. I guess I have two questions: 1) Is there a good reason for this behaviour, binding to a specific interface/IP address on all outbound connections? 2) If so, would it make sense to have a separate configuration item (config_backend_ip ?) that could override the default behaviour?
