Having two 'live' mailman instances with separate data and keeping them
synched would be very difficult.

Another approach which you can find discussed somewhat in the archives
of this and/or the mailman-developers list is to have one live
installation and a second 'hot spare' installation. Then the problem
reduces to just keeping the spare's data current which is more
manageable.
