Since qmail is Maildir based (no locking problems to worry about), I think 
this should be fairly easy to do. You'll just need to decide which 
directories needs to be shared, and which needs to be private to each node.
It will probably be enough to have the home directories on a shared storage
(GFS or simply just NFS), and just do load balancing by equal MX record 
priorities.
