Do a local delivery using "unseen" then pass the mail
on to the other machine *unless* it just came from that machine
(or pass the mail to the other machine "unseen" then deliver locally).
Check that both machines are in the MX records for your domain so that
the outside world talks to both machines. Otherwise when your MX host
is down, the backup machine will not get anything to backup.

Have an unseen delivery for each remote host.
