Eric,
Keepalived is your only other decent choice when it comes to LVS.
You could stick with ldirectord and break it out onto several hosts/clusters?
Its normally just the health checking that starts becoming an issue.
You are also welcome to use our version of ldirectord in the
loadbalancer.org product (definitely supported).
Just download our demo and take a copy of ldirectord its GPL....
We just haven't got around to syncing our changes with Horms ...who is
quite often nice enough to fix our broken code :-).
Ps. You might find our Windows feedback agent useful for the terminal
servers (also open source)- its compatible with Ldirectord & HAProxy
