It would work fine, but you'd need to run offlineimap once for each
user.  You could do them in sequence or get fancy and run multiple
simultaneously, depending on what you want the intensity and duration
of the load on the servers to look like.

Btw, offlineimap has occasional problems that I think are related to
Cyrus.  I haven't had any problems using Courier, but when I was
running on Cyrus, I would occasionally have problems that would
necessitate deleting the mail and state files on the client side, then
resyncing to get them back.  I don't know if you would see that
problem going Cyrus<->Cyrus or not.  AFAIK, the bug was never solved.

Well, that's John, I'm just an offlineimap user... ;-)
