Everything can be balanced between real servers not just httpd?
 
the services that we know to work are in the HOWTO. In principle any 
single port service can be balanced by LVS.
 
I'am balancing DNS, smtp, pop3, http and a propietary UDP service.
 I'am using one master and one backup. The servers are PIV 2,8 Ghz 512 MB 
memory. With this I'am balancing  3 UDP servers, 2 HTTP servers, 2 POP3, 
2 smtp and 2 DNS servers.
 
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.
 
The connections are moderate in TCP. In UDP I have about 2500 
connections per second. 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.
