A little OT
Why don't you rely on DNS like everyone else does?
 
If you build the servers identically, but with different IP addresses, tand specify both servers in your MX record, if one server goes down the second one will take up the load. If both are running fine then your mail will get processed at twice the speed!

Hi all,

I would like build new mail system (postfix + courier-IMAP
+ courier-auth + all informations in pgsql+ SA ....).

We have 2 identical servers.
And what we would like to have:
on both servers identical informations (postfix, configs, mail-s, etc.)
if server 1 die, users don't know about this because all informations
are on server 2.
I think it is something like HA or fail-over.

What you can suggest for this?

I know this is not exactly question about postfix but
maybe on this list will be someone who did something like that.

Regards
Arek

P.S.
Sorry about my English
