I rather like the idea because when coupled with an "ISP-like" virtual
e-mail solution and MySQL one could utilise MySQL replicate. In this
manner all the e-mail would be replicated from the primary host to a
backup host, and then if there was a failure on the main host it would
be quite easy to swap.
You could also do rsync every few minutes but this is a less elegant
solution - MySQL replicate reacts to changes, rsync has to check for
changes.
