I'm willing to bet money that you could use nfs to mirror your mail
directory (/var/spool/mail and their home directories if you have people
wanting to telnet in and use pine or something) between 2 or 3 machines.
Then you could use nis/yp to have the users and accounts on both/all the
machines. Then you could assign 2 or 3 ip's to mail.someplace.com
