On my setup (postfix) there's a heavy use of the /etc/postfix/transport
feature, that redirects all domains with which I have a problem (like those
that are not always accepting mail I send) to a slave machine that is very
near (in terms of bandwidth) the first one. It reduces A LOT the disk
problems (mostly mailqueue becoming very heavy) -- maybe I should continue
this way with more domains being handled to slave machine(s). Is that the
option you're describing?
