I agree there are better ways of achieving high availability (although
there probably were not when this code first went into Exim) - I've
never come across a need for the intended/documented use of multiple
servers feature, but as discussed here it is useful for simplistic
(and not necessarily efficient) access to databases on separate
servers.
