No, the minimum number is 1. You can have a linux director with one real
server, itself.
For practical purposes the minumum is usually 2. You can have the linux
director with two real servers, itself and another machine. You can make
this highly available by having active/standb-by linux directors, both
of which are real servers.

But to do simple load balancing, you are right, 3 is the minimum number
that makese sense in a lot of ways. One linux director and two real servers.
