I would advise testing
without Outlook just to keep things simple (MUAs
and Outlook in particular have a nasty habit of doing what they think
you wanted rather than what you actually wanted).
I'm unclear exactly what login name you have used, above. With the
above config, if you telnet to 64.5.4.7 on port 143 and log in manually
with "1 login nelsonts@foo.com mypass" I would expect Perdition to
connect to 10.5.0.1 with user name nelsonts. If you log in with "1
login nelsonts@fee.net mypass" you should end up on 10.5.0.8.
If you just login with "1 login nelsonts mypass" which server you end up
on will depend on the reverse DNS entry for 64.5.4.7. If it is
something like "imap.foo.com" then the login name will get translated to
nelsonts@foo.com, if it's "imap.fee.net" then the login name becomes
"nelsonts@fee.net".
If I understood your original query correctly, you wanted different
IP
addresses to map to different back-end servers, so you would really want
imap.foo.com on one address and imap.fee.com on another rather than them
both on the same IP address. Alternatively, if all of your users log in
with a full "user@domain" like your example, then you don't need the
different IPs, as the domain they provide will override the IP lookup.
Chris.
