Re: best practice ONE server node to multible nodes

We have a load-balance iRedMail cluster solution, but it's now a little out of date, but still runs well for 2 clients in production.

You can setup HAProxy + KeepAlived on (2) frontend servers to balance the traffic, then setup (minimal) 3 servers as the backend servers which actually serve the mail services.
