Localdirector works primarily from a layer 2 standpoint which usually means they have to be right beside the PIXs and that cuts into your redundancy for power and such. Still gets you the load balancing though. What you might want to investigate is configuring load balancing and policy-based routing (using ip-hashing or something similar to split things up but maintain persistence) on routers a little further out and that way you can keep your system as fault tolerant as possible.
Just a thought.
