I have the following architecture: CISCO LB using a virtual IP (VIP) 2 RHEL5 servers running mailman ( on each one of them mailman installed by rpm). The mailman installation was done on each server separately and the only nfs common between those servers is "/var/lib/mailman" ( coming from Netapp volume w/r) containing archives , data , lists and spam directories. When I create a list and I send mail to this list@server1 the mail arrives , but if I send the message to list@VIP the mail is lost. There is something I should do in mailman config files to reflect this architecture? I need this in case one of the servers crashes.
Thank you

What is in the mail server logs related to the mail to list@VIP?

There will be issues with your configuration. You are not sharing qfiles/ (/var/spool/mailman/ in the RHEL package) so Mailman must be running on both machines and you must share the locks/ (/var/lock/mailman/ in the RHEL package) directory in any case or you will lose data due to race conditions.
