dovecot - Mar 2015 - multiple imap servers for high availability

Hello,

 We run imap for our domain at our lan.

 I'd like to set up a backup mirror that has imap storage always
duplicated.  Then using something like heartbeat to share the imapd IP
address .

 Could someone point me to documents , if any , that give ideas on how to
set up the mirror?

best regards, Rob
