You can have multiple proxies. If you have users all over the place then
you can arrange that the proxies and message stores that they usually use
are close to where they usually connect, e.g. by giving them geographical
names, such as imap.fr.example.com or imap.ma.example.com.
Another way of doing this kind of scaling, which avoids the need for a
proxy, is to get users to configure their software to connect to
username.imap.example.com, so you have a DNS entry per user which you can
set up to point to the right back-end server.
