Multiple amavisd-maia boxes and postfix

Hi,

I'm currently trying to expand our solution by adding a new
server.
Originally my idea was to supply the new box as a
content_filter value, 
but quickly noticed that content_filter only wants one
value.
(content_filter =
smtp-amavis:[1.2.3.4]:10024,smtp-amavis:[1.2.3.5]:10024)

Solved it by creating a round-robin dns-name with both boxes

(content_filter = smtp-amavis:[boxes.domain.com]:10024) and
this works, 
but I would like to distribute the load uneven since the new
box is way 
more powerful than the old one. Something like 1/3 to the
old box, and 
2/3 to the new box.
Does anyone know a way to accomplish this without setting up
a load 
balancer in front ?

I know this is mainly a postfix issue, but I reckon a lot of
people on 
this list use postfix in their amavisd-maia solutions 

Regards,

Erik

How about mentioning it twice in your DNS to the other one's
once?
