dovecot - Jul 2010 - dovecot director service

hi,
we are using the dovecot-rc1 version, and we are testing the director 
service,
as there is little documentation on this service, a pair of questions..

if i'm not wrong, the proxy_maybe it's not implemented, yet? will be
soon?
this limitation does not allow use the same two directors servers like 
mail backend servers?
the fairlure of one director server it's automatically detected or 
require manual intervention?

thanks and sorry for so many questions...

I tried implementing it once, but it got difficult, so I'm not sure when
it'll be implemented.

You can install two Dovecot instances on the same server (set different base_dir
for them), one as director and another as mail server. A bit annoying to have
two of them, but it should work.

It's automatically detected. I've only simulated it with software, but
you could also try it by actually pulling the network plug out. :)

Hi Timo,

like you say, I have added director_doveadm_port = 990 to my director 
configuration, but how
I must add the inet_listener for this port?
I have tried with:

service director {
   unix_listener login/director {
     mode = 0666
   }
   fifo_listener login/proxy-notify {
     mode = 0666
   }
   unix_listener director-userdb {
     mode = 0666
   }
# director service port
   inet_listener {
     port = 991
   }
#director-doveadm service port
   inet_listener {
     port = 990
   }
}

but I get the error:

[root at imap2 ~]# doveadm director status -a imap2:990
doveadm(root): Fatal: imap2:990 not a compatible director-doveadm socket

and the log says:
Jul 23 09:50:14 imap2 dovecot: director: Error: 
director(10.180.188.12/in): Wrong protocol in socket (director-doveadm 
vs director)

then also I have tried with:

service director-doveadm {
   inet_listener {
     port = 990
   }
}

but when restart the daemon get:

doveconf: Error: service(director-doveadm): executable is empty
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file 
/etc/dovecot-proxy/dovecot.conf: service(director-doveadm): executable 
is empty

How is the correct format to define the inet director-doveadm port?

thanks

Xavier
