University MailScanner Setup

[Rose, Bobby]

We have two boxes (somewhat similar hardware) using LVS (with Piranha as GUI) for the load balancing of smtp.  Our message counts are around 90-110 thousand.

I doubt you need to spend money/time on a dedicated load balancer.
Just setting up all your MailScanner servers as MX hosts in your DNS
should do the trick for free. Load balancing via round robin from DNS
and failover from SMTP automatically picking the next MX if one is not
available.
