Or indeed more than one SpamAssassin server. Unfortunately the syntax
for av_scanner uses colons, and existing configs might break if the
argument to av_scanner was changed to a list.

Umm, hang on, the docs (spec section 40.1) say that av_scanner is
expanded each time the malware condition is called, so it could expand
to different servers, which should help for load-balancing, but probably
not failover unless you were being clever.
