You need to have these users in a seperate Post Office to be able to do
this. If that *really* makes sense is an entirely different question.
GWIA is an extremely capable little beast, and usually only limited by
the network bandwith. As long as the other GWIA doesn't have it's own
internet line, I don't see much sense in doing this for workload
reasons.

GWIA, given sufficient bandiwidth can handle a couple million messages
per gwia per day. Are you really hittig that?

Then indeed a second gwia serves no purpose unless you want fault tolerance.
