OffTopic: MailScanner Architecture

[--[UxBoD]--]

All,

i thought I would post to this list instead of main, as you are real hardcore testers, to see if you would mind sharing your MailScanner
infrastructure setup.  I am looking to setup my own business in the UK, and curious to see how you have all done it.

The type of configuration I have been thinking about is as follows :-

HP Blade Enclosure (bl25 x 8 / Dual Opteron / 4GB RAM)
2 x Postfix Servers
2 x MySQL Commercial Clustered Servers (for whitelists,spam-cache etc etc etc)
2 x BIND DNS Servers
2 x Backend MailStores (including webmail)

All datastores will be held on a HP MSA1500 and will be presented to the servers via fibre.

Now I have been thinking of using Gentoo, my preferred O/S, but may look at using RedHat so I can use Global File System.  This way I can truly
cluster applications.

What do you think ? Any help from you all would be greatfully appreciated. Apologies if this is far off-topic, but thought it may be interesting for
us to share ideas on MailScanner setups.
