[Dovecot] Setting up the Director

Hi all,

	I'm trying to wrap my head around the Director and how it works, but I'm not having much luck finding documentation.  Currently, I have two front end mail servers that use NFS for mail storage.  I'm using Cisco's SLB for load balancing, though I may switch over to a server-based load balancing solution at some point.

	SLB works great, but it doesn't guarantee that a given user will stick to the same server.  At least, not as it's configured now..  But, regardless, I want to move away from SLB so I can have a bit more control.

	If I want to implement the Director, do I need to have additional machines, or does it get configured on the front end mail machines?  I'm thinking the former, but hoping for the latter..  :P

	Does anyone know of a really good write-up about the director and how it works?

thanks,
