I don't know what a "control panel license" is, but you
don't need any licenses to run LVS.
Everything can be balanced between real servers not just httpd?
the services that we know to work are in the HOWTO. In

Are the linux directors actually physically servers?
they are not servers. They are routers with a slightly
unusual set of rules. Clients do not connect to services on
the director.
If so what server
requirements would I need for the directors?
read the performance section.
What about securities, if one server gets hacked will the hacker have access
to all servers?
quite likely. Read the security section.
Can ultramonkey accommodate third layer topology? Having a central storage
server?
Yes
Ultramonkey is a wrapper around LVS.
