that is correct, yes. however, if you choose to have your queue 
directory on some network file system you will have to have one queue 
directory per realserver - these cannot be shared among servers. of 
course if there are issues with your fileserver then everything will 
break whereas local queue dirs will allow your realservers to 
continue to receive and deliver mail even if your maildrops become 
unavailable.
