Again, as compared to what? A single server? An MS Exchange cluster? Kerio? MDaemon? Without wanting to sound like I'm rolling out the Communigate Systems party line, Dynamic Clustering offers a lot more power, flexibility and scalability than a single server but as a result can be slightly more complex to manage. We've been running a 2x2 cluster here since December 2006 and haven't really had any problems per se relating to clustering itself. That's not to say we haven't had problems, but many of them would have been manifest with a single server anyway. Graeme
