I think that would be tricky. Especially with deletes - because the
delete would happen on one server, and then probably be undone. And the
'new' state of messages would be constantly clobbered.
I would think that it would be considerably easier to split the
mailboxes between the two, as has already been suggested. Cyrus with
Murder is probably the easiest way to do it. It also has the advantage
that mailboxes can be moved and clients updated independently. And that
roaming users can always connect to the closest regardless of where
their mailbox really resides.

Well, if I read your previous posts correctly then domains should be
example.com - i.e. your users have addresses of the form
bob@???; not bob@???
The domains condition on the dnslookup router is wrong (I think) - see
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch10.html#SECID76
for an explanation of how negative list items work
- As it is after a router which would handle example.com (once
corrected), then it isn't necessary to exclude example.com anyway, so
you could just drop the second part
- If you did need to exclude multiple host lists, I think you would have
to negate each one. Or possibly you can negate the entire condition
(!domains=...), it works in an ACL, but I don't know if it does in a
router definition.
