They are stored in the Attachment Directory specified in the config on
the machine they were uploaded to (option 4 in conf.pl). If you're using
round-robin DNS to load balance the two then the user will have a 50%
chance that the attachment will be available when they send the message.
You'll either need to use a shared file system between the two machines
or an L4 switch that maintains session to one of the machines only. The
temporary filenames are a 32 character randomly generated string so
filename collisions when using a shared file system, while not
impossible, are extremely unlikely, especially given the temporary
nature of the files.
