Director is used when you setup frontend servers in a load-balance cluster,
proxy imap/pop3/lmtp/managesieve requests to backend Dovecot servers.
I setup load-balance cluster for clients with HAProxy + KeepAlived + Dovecot
Director running in frontend servers, so sad we have to find an alternative to
replace Director in such case.
It's not about "small/medium" servers, but the demand of imap/pop3/lmtp proxy
service, especially in load-balance cluster.
