I'm assuming this is dealing with regular Notes mail .  How about  iNotes 
failover?

Re: High Availability Solution question






Using Domino clusters we clustered three small System i machines for our 
company. They are front ended by an F5 networks load balancing box which 
directs requests to the least busy server. The three servers are all 
remote from each other but clearly they don't need to be. If any of the 
servers are unavailable they are simply ignored by the F5 used until 
they return.  Simple to set up and reliable too.

We'll likely reduce to just two systems now that we're up to Domino 7.
