Current scenario is as per the following:

Mail To/From Internet--->E2K FE <----RGC1----> 1st BE <-----RGC2-----> 2nd BE

Based on the above setup, we have E2K based Front End server accepting and
delivering Emails to/from Internet and Back End servers. The connectivity to
BE servers is through RGC1 between FE and 1st BE server and then RGC2 from
1st BE to 2nd BE as depicted. Therefore, an incoming message for a mailbox on
2nd BE server has to pass through RGC1 & RGC2. FE & 1st BE are available one
the same LAN and 2nd BE is connected across a slow WAN link.

Problem: In case of non-availability of 2nd BE due to certain reasons (like
WAN link failure, etc) what has been observed is that inbound emails for
receipients on 2nd BE are queued on the Front End server. Is this behavior
normal instead of messages destined for 2nd BE mailboxes to get queued on 1st
BE server? If this is abnormal or can be worked around to have queued at 1st
BE instead of FE server, let me know.
