Tried it about a year ago for a week cc'ing my mail to a specific codaised
maildirs, and was intending to shift the ISP onto it.  Upper management
wasn't too happy about a fleet of identical machines being able to handle
any http/pop3/smtp/squid request over two disparete physical locations,
and it was shelved. [1]

It works for the most part, but sometimes it can take a while to deliver a

[1] Upper management weren't too cluey in the way of reliability, and
    thankfully I've changed jobs, putting an end to such amusing things as
    resoldering HDDs of primary (and only) mail/auth/web servers at silly
    hours. ;)
