dovecot - Feb 2012 - doveadm purge on shared storage

We've finally (!) started to put some users on mdbox instead of maildir,
and now I'm wondering about the purge step. As we're running GPFS for
the
mailboxes (and dovecot director in front of every dovecot service), is
it important to run the "doveadm purge -u $user" on the same host as 
$user is logged into to avoid index corruption ?

If so, will we need to run the "doveadm purge" trough the dovecot
director as
well?

If you run doveadm purge on the director itself (or so that it uses
director's config), then doveadm automatically goes through director to the
correct server to run the purge. You need to have configured
