Cyrus Murder documentation?

Hi, all.

I'm looking at moving from single server Cyrus IMAPD to a murder 
configuration.

I'd like to set up a multi-server configuration for high availability 
and load balancing, but I'd like more information about Replicated 
Murder (doc note: This section needs to be written..) about which the 
"Features" section of the docs simply states, "All backends have access 
to all mailboxes".

How does one achieve that state, and can load balancing still be done in 
that configuration?

The documentation for all versions between 3.0.x and the latest 3.4.x 
seems to be incomplete, and I'm wondering where (or whether) the current 
documentation may be found? I've looked at everything included with the 
source, including the legacy 2.5 docs (which seem to be out of date) and 
the configuration examples, which seem to cover murder 
frontend/backend/mupdate servers, and replication master/replica servers 
but not both simultaneously.

Otherwise I was considering four backend servers--two to be part of the 
murder, with each murder backend independently replicating to another 
standalone backend, with recovery to a "fresh" mupdate server using 
whichever combination of functional primary/secondary backends contain 
the correct superset of mailboxes.

Thoughts or pointers to additional documentation would be much appreciated.
