Load Balancing + File Locking

[Boulytchev, Vasiliy]

Ladies and Gents,
        The loads on the mail server require us to start moving Mailscanner
with Spam and Virus filtering to other machines.  Questions:
        1.)     How does MS do the locking on files in the submitted
directory (after cgp2ms)?  If NFS3 is used to mount that shared folder on
say 3 servers designated to only scanning mail, how do we avoid run-ons?
        2.)     Idea: if the local procs keep track of locking, then we can
toss all that into mysql for example? :)))  Just thinking of ways to add
scalability.

Thanks,
