localdirecter has DistributedDirector as its Global Load Balancing
counterpart.
I'm not a big fan of localdirectors because they are expensive, while at
the same time lacking in many features, including Layer 5 lb and cookie
persistance.
Cisco bought ArrowPoint, which I think is meant to take care of those
shortcommings by making ArrowPoint its defacto LB solution.
